Overtime Pay Calculator — The US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires overtime pay (1.5× the regular rate) for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, for non-exempt employees. This is the "US standard" model. California and a few other states go further: overtime is also owed for any hours beyond 8 in a workday, and double-time (2×) is owed for any hours beyond 12 in a workday. This is the "California" model.

This tool supports both models. Enter your hourly rate and either total weekly hours (US standard) or hours per day (California), and the tool computes regular, overtime, and double-time hours and pay.
How to use it
-
Pick the model
US standard for federal-FLSA overtime. California if you are in CA (or work for a CA employer).
-
Enter your hourly rate
The regular, non-overtime rate. The tool multiplies by 1.5× for OT and 2× for DT.

Enter your hours
For US standard: total hours worked this week. For California: hours per day for each day of the week.
Examples
US standard: 50 hours at $25/hr
A typical 10-hour-day × 5-day week.
Result: 40 regular × $25 = $1,000; 10 OT × $37.50 = $375; Total = $1,375
California: 12h Mon, 12h Tue, 8h Wed-Thu, 8h Fri = 48h at $20/hr
Two 12-hour days, then 3 normal days.
Result: 4h OT Mon (1.5x), 4h OT Tue (1.5x), 0 DT, 32h regular = $640 + $160 = $800
