How this calculation works

Weekly pay is your gross earnings for a single FLSA workweek. For non-exempt employees, the calculation is straightforward: regular hours × hourly rate, plus overtime hours × 1.5 × hourly rate.

The 40-hour threshold is federal law. Some states impose stricter daily thresholds — California pays 1.5× after 8 daily hours and 2× after 12. This calculator applies the federal weekly rule; for state-specific logic, use our California, New York, or Texas overtime calculators.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does weekly overtime kick in?
Under federal FLSA, overtime is owed for every hour over 40 in a single workweek at 1.5× your regular rate. Daily overtime (e.g., over 8 hours a day) applies only in certain states like California.
What is a "workweek" under FLSA?
A workweek is a fixed, recurring period of 168 hours — seven consecutive 24-hour days. It does not have to align with the calendar week, but it must be consistent.
