Overtime calculator

Under the US federal rule, non-exempt employees earn overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek, at 1.5 times the regular rate. Some states, such as California and Alaska, also count hours over 8 in a single day. TimesheetCalc supports both: weekly, or daily over 8 plus any remaining hours over 40 in the week, without counting the same hour twice.

    This page starts with five 8:00 to 5:30 days with a 30 minute lunch, which is 45 hours: 40 regular and 5 overtime.

    How the time card calculator works

    For each day TimesheetCalc subtracts the clock-in time from the clock-out time, adding 24 hours when the shift ends after midnight, then takes off the unpaid break in minutes. If rounding is on, each punch is first rounded to the nearest 5, 6 or 15 minutes. Daily totals add up to the week, shown in hours and minutes and in decimal hours (minutes ÷ 60) to two places. With weekly overtime, hours over 40 are overtime. With daily overtime, hours over 8 in each day are overtime, and any regular hours left over 40 in the week are added, so no hour is counted twice. Gross pay is regular hours × rate plus overtime hours × rate × the multiplier, before taxes and deductions.

    Frequently asked questions

    How is overtime calculated?

    Overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5. At $20 an hour, 5 overtime hours pay 5 × $30 = $150 on top of 40 × $20 = $800.

    Is overtime after 8 hours a day or 40 a week?

    Federally it is 40 a week. A few states add a daily limit; check your state labor department.

    Does double time apply?

    California pays double time over 12 hours a day; set the multiplier to 2 for those hours separately, as this calculator uses one rate.
