How Overtime Pay Is Calculated

Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees in the US must receive overtime pay of at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Multiplier)

For example, if you earn $25/hour and work 10 overtime hours at time and a half:

10 × ($25 × 1.5) = 10 × $37.50 = $375.00 overtime pay

Some employers pay double time (2x) for holidays or weekends, and some states like California require double time after 12 hours in a single day. Always check your local labor laws and employment agreement.
