Frequently Asked Questions about the Overtime Pay Calculator
How does overtime pay work under FLSA?
The federal Fair Labor Standards Act requires nonexempt employees to be paid at least 1.5x their regular rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek. The workweek is a fixed, recurring period of 168 hours (7 consecutive 24-hour periods), not necessarily Monday to Sunday.
What is the difference between manual and auto-split mode?
Manual mode lets you enter regular and overtime hours separately, which is useful when payroll has already split them on your stub. Auto-split takes one total-hours number and divides it at the threshold (40 by default), so anything above counts as overtime.
Does this calculator handle California daily overtime?
Partially. Turn on the double-time field for California's 2x rule (over 12 hours in a day or over 8 hours on a seventh consecutive workday). You still need to figure out how many of your weekly hours qualify because the calculator does not track day-by-day totals.
Why is my effective hourly rate higher than my base rate?
The effective rate is your gross weekly pay divided by total hours worked. Because overtime and double-time hours pay 1.5x or 2x the base rate, your average per-hour earnings rise as you work more overtime. It is a quick gut-check of how valuable extra hours actually are.
Is overtime pay taxed at a higher rate?
No. Overtime is taxed at the same rates as regular wages. Your paycheck withholding may look heavier because the IRS withholding tables assume a flat weekly income, but your final tax liability is based on your annual total. Use this calculator for gross pay, not net.
