Only if you're non-exempt and eligible for overtime — salary alone doesn't determine exemption status, which depends on job duties and a Department of Labor salary threshold. If you're eligible, calculate your effective hourly rate first (salary ÷ hours), then apply it here.

Select the 2x double-time option from the overtime multiplier field if your employer pays double-time for certain hours (holidays, seventh consecutive day worked in some states, etc.). For any other custom multiplier, calculate your effective overtime rate manually (regular rate × your multiplier) and use that as the hourly rate input.

How this time-and-a-half calculator works
Time and a half refers to an overtime rate of 1.5× the regular hourly wage. It is the federally mandated minimum rate for non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours per week under the FLSA. Some states require daily overtime at 1.5× beyond 8 hours per day.
- Time-and-a-half rate = regular hourly rate × 1.5.
- Weekly overtime pay = overtime hours × time-and-a-half rate.
- Total weekly gross = (regular hours × regular rate) + (overtime hours × 1.5 × regular rate).
- Double-time (2×) applies in certain states like California for hours beyond 12 per day.
Exemption from overtime rules may apply to certain salaried, executive, professional or administrative employees. Check your state labor laws for additional protections.
