Formula & How It Works
Overtime Hourly Rate
Overtime Rate = Hourly Rate × Overtime MultiplierYour base hourly rate is multiplied by the overtime multiplier (e.g. 1.5 for time and a half) to get your overtime rate.
Regular Weekly Pay
Regular Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular HoursThis is your standard pay for hours worked at your normal rate.
Overtime Weekly Pay
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Hourly Rate × Multiplier)Overtime hours are paid at the boosted overtime rate rather than your regular rate.
Total Weekly & Annual Pay
Total Weekly Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay; Annual Estimate = Total Weekly Pay × 52Combine regular and overtime pay for a weekly total, then multiply by 52 weeks to estimate annual earnings if the pattern is consistent.
Practical Examples & Common Use Cases
Example: $25/hr, 10 overtime hours at 1.5x
Overtime rate = $25 × 1.5 = $37.50/hr. Regular pay = $25 × 40 = $1,000. Overtime pay = 10 × $37.50 = $375. Total weekly pay = $1,375. Annual estimate = $1,375 × 52 = $71,500.
Example: $18/hr, 5 overtime hours at double time
Overtime rate = $18 × 2 = $36/hr. Regular pay = $18 × 40 = $720. Overtime pay = 5 × $36 = $180. Total weekly pay = $900. Annual estimate = $900 × 52 = $46,800.
Example: $32/hr, 15 overtime hours at 1.5x
Overtime rate = $32 × 1.5 = $48/hr. Regular pay = $32 × 40 = $1,280. Overtime pay = 15 × $48 = $720. Total weekly pay = $2,000. Annual estimate = $2,000 × 52 = $104,000.
Frequently Asked Questions
Time and a half means you earn 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for overtime hours. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour, your overtime rate would be $30/hour.
