About this tool
This US Overtime Pay Calculator turns an hourly rate and a Monday–Sunday schedule into gross weekly pay. Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois follow the federal rule: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. California also pays daily overtime at 1.5 times after 8 hours, double time after 12 hours, and seventh-day rates when all seven days have hours. Daily overtime hours are not counted a second time toward the 40-hour week. The result is gross pay before income tax, Social Security, and Medicare. Exempt salaried jobs, tipped wages, and some union or industry rules can pay differently. The math runs in your browser.

Limitations
- •Gross pay before tax. It does not calculate take-home pay.
- •California’s seventh day is Sunday in this Monday–Sunday week, and only when every day has hours.
- •Does not cover exempt salaried employees, tipped credit, or special industry overtime rules.
Tips & common mistakes
- •A 4 × 10 schedule in California already includes 2 overtime hours each day, even though the week is only 40 hours.
- •Five 9-hour days in California are 40 regular hours plus 5 overtime hours.
- •Texas, Florida, New York, and Illinois do not add extra pay for a 10-hour day if the week stays at 40 hours.
- •This is gross pay. Use the take-home calculator if you also want tax taken out of a salary.
How weekly overtime pay is calculated
Straight-time hours are paid at the regular rate. Overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times that rate. California double-time hours are paid at 2 times.
Gross = (Regular hours × rate) + (Overtime hours × rate × 1.5) + (Double-time hours × rate × 2)- •Federal-style states: regular hours stop at 40, and the rest of the week is overtime
- •California: each day pays 8 regular, then 4 hours at 1.5×, then the rest at 2×
- •California weekly overtime adds 1.5× only for regular hours above 40 that were not already paid as daily overtime
