FAQ
What is the standard overtime multiplier in the US?+

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Some states like California apply overtime after 8 hours in a single day, and double time (2x) kicks in after 12 hours in a day or on the seventh consecutive day of work.

How is overtime pay calculated?+

Overtime pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Multiplier). For example, if you earn $20/hr and work 10 overtime hours at 1.5x, your overtime pay is 10 × $30 = $300. Add that to your regular pay (e.g., 40 × $20 = $800) for a total of $1,100 gross.

Does this calculator account for taxes?+

No — the calculator shows gross pay only, before any federal, state, or local income tax, Social Security, Medicare, or other deductions. Use the result as a starting point and consult your paycheck stub or a payroll professional for net (take-home) pay.

When does double time (2x) apply?+

Double time is not required by federal law but is mandated in certain states (notably California) and is common in union contracts, holiday-pay policies, and some industries. Select the 2.0x preset in the calculator to compute double-time earnings alongside your regular pay.
