How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
Montana tax in these results: 2 brackets (table below) walked over gross pay, with no Montana deduction, exemption or credit subtracted. Federal income tax (single filer, 2026), 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare apply to the same annual gross; the §225 overtime-premium deduction is not applied.
Key State Information
Montana overtime facts: Minimum wage $10.85/hr | Tipped cash wage before tips $10.85/hr | State tax up to 5.65% | Median household income $75,340.
Example Calculation
A Montana worker earning the $20.00/hr default works 10 overtime hours every week: $41,600 of base pay plus $15,600 of overtime (520 hours × $20.00 × 1.5), $57,200 a year.
Montana tax on the overtime: the overtime sits between $41,600 and $57,200 of yearly pay, all inside Montana's 5.65% bracket, so 5.65% × $15,600 = $881 (5.65% of it, against 5.17% of base pay). Federal income tax adds $1,872 and FICA $1,193.
Result: You keep $11,653 of the $15,600 (74.7%).

Our editorial standardsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the overtime rate in Montana?
At least $16.28/hr at Montana's $10.85 wage floor: 1.5 × the regular rate for an FLSA-covered, non-exempt worker's hours over 40 in a workweek. Source of the $10.85/hr floor: Montana minimum wage law, via U.S. DOL WHD Consolidated State Minimum Wage Table.
Is overtime taxed differently in Montana?
No separate overtime rate applies: overtime is wages, taxed with the rest of your pay. Because Montana's brackets are progressive, overtime is taxed at the highest Montana bracket your yearly pay reaches (5.65% at this page's default). For 2025-2028, eligible workers can deduct the overtime premium on their federal return (26 U.S.C. §225); the No Tax on Overtime Deduction Calculator estimates it.
