How to Use This Overtime Pay Calculator
- 1
Enter your regular hourly wage or salary
For salaried employees, the calculator converts to an hourly rate using your standard hours/week. Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid 1.5× regular rate for hours over 40/week.
- 2
Enter your regular and overtime hours
Standard is 40 regular hours/week. Overtime applies to hours beyond 40 (federal). Some states have daily overtime rules — California requires overtime after 8 hours/day.
- 3
Set overtime multiplier
Standard overtime is 1.5× (time and a half). Double time (2×) applies in some states and union contracts for hours beyond certain thresholds (e.g., over 12 hours/day in California).
- 4
Review gross and net earnings
The calculator shows regular pay, overtime pay, pre-tax total, and estimated take-home after federal income tax, FICA, and New York Overtime Pay income tax withholding.
Example Calculation
Let's calculate overtime earnings for a warehouse worker in New York Overtime Pay.
Regular hourly rate: $22/hour. This week: 45 hours worked (40 regular + 5 overtime). Regular pay: 40 × $22 = $880. Overtime pay: 5 × $33 (1.5×) = $165. Gross weekly pay: $1,045. Annualized with consistent overtime: $54,340/year.
Result: Weekly gross: $1,045 ($880 regular + $165 overtime). After estimated taxes (federal ~22%, FICA 7.65%, New York Overtime Pay ~5%): take-home approximately $685-$720/week. Note: overtime income pushes your marginal tax rate higher — you keep about 55-65% of overtime pay after taxes, compared to 70-75% of regular pay. Still worth it, but the take-home rate is lower than most expect.
What Affects Your Results
Regular Hourly Rate
Overtime is calculated as 1.5× your "regular rate of pay," which includes base pay plus non-discretionary bonuses, commissions, and shift differentials. It's not just your base hourly wage.
Hours Worked
Federal overtime starts after 40 hours/workweek. Some states have daily overtime thresholds (California: after 8 hours/day, double time after 12). Know your state's specific rules.
Tax Bracket Impact
Overtime income is added on top of your regular income and taxed at your highest marginal rate. For someone in the 22% federal bracket, overtime income may push some earnings into the 24% bracket.
FLSA Exemption Status
Employees classified as "exempt" (salaried, meeting duties tests) are not entitled to overtime. Misclassification is common — if your duties are primarily manual/clerical, you may be entitled to overtime regardless of salary.
Hourly vs Salary
Salaried non-exempt employees' regular rate is calculated by dividing weekly salary by standard hours. A $900/week salary at 40 hours = $22.50/hr regular rate, $33.75/hr overtime rate.
Tips for New York Overtime Pay Residents
- The 2024 FLSA salary threshold for overtime exemption is $43,888/year. Salaried employees earning below this are entitled to overtime pay regardless of job title or duties.
- Check New York Overtime Pay's overtime rules. California has daily overtime (after 8 hours/day), double time (after 12 hours/day), and 7th consecutive day rules. Most states follow federal (weekly only) rules.
- Overtime is not optional for employers. If you're a non-exempt employee who works over 40 hours, your employer must pay overtime — even if they didn't authorize it. You can be disciplined, but you must be paid.
- Overtime income is taxed at your marginal rate, not a special "overtime rate." The common belief that "overtime is taxed higher" is misleading — it's taxed at the same marginal rate as any additional income.
- For financial planning, don't count overtime as guaranteed income. Use only your base 40-hour pay for mortgage qualification, budgeting, and savings goals. Treat overtime as bonus money for savings or debt payoff.
