How this calculation works
FLSA overtime is calculated at 1.5× your regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Your "regular rate" is not simply your hourly wage if you earn bonuses or commissions — those are folded in by federal formula.
The 40-hour threshold is the federal floor. Several states (notably California) impose stricter daily thresholds. This calculator applies the federal weekly rule; switch to a state-specific calculator if you work in CA, NY, or TX for localized logic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FLSA overtime rate?
Federal law requires 1.5× your regular rate of pay for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. This is "time and a half."
Is overtime calculated daily or weekly?
Under federal FLSA, overtime is weekly — only hours over 40 in the workweek trigger 1.5×. States like California add daily overtime rules on top.
