How this calculation works
Double-time pay is 2× your regular rate. Federal FLSA does not require it — only 1.5× after 40 weekly hours. Double time arises from state law (California), employer policy, union contracts, or holiday premium agreements.
This calculator lets you combine regular, 1.5× overtime, and 2× double-time hours into one total. If you work in California, use the California Overtime Calculator, which automatically applies the 12-hour daily double-time rule.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is double-time pay required by federal law?
No. The FLSA does not require double-time pay. Double time is mandated only by certain state laws (notably California for hours over 12 in a day) or by employer policy, union contracts, or holiday premium agreements.
When is double time paid in California?
California Labor Code § 510 requires 2× pay for hours worked over 12 in a single workday, and for any hours over 8 on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek.
