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 1. **Pick the model** — US standard for federal-FLSA overtime. California if you are in CA (or work for a CA employer). 2. **Enter your hourly rate** — The regular, non-overtime rate. The tool multiplies by 1.5× for OT and 2× for DT. 3. **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. Output: ``` 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. Output: ``` 4h OT Mon (1.5x), 4h OT Tue (1.5x), 0 DT, 32h regular = $640 + $160 = $800 ``` ## FAQ ### Am I eligible for overtime? Under US federal law, "non-exempt" employees are eligible. Most hourly workers are non-exempt. "Exempt" employees (salaried, in executive / administrative / professional roles, earning at least $684/week as of 2024) are not eligible for overtime. Some states have lower thresholds and broader coverage. If you are unsure, ask your HR department or check your state labor department website. ### Is the California daily-overtime rule the same as federal? No. Federal law (FLSA) only requires overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. California requires overtime after 8 hours in a workday (and double-time after 12 hours), AND overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. The two rules stack: if you work 12 hours on Monday and 40 total for the week, you are owed overtime for both the daily excess and the weekly excess, with appropriate accounting. Other states with daily-overtime rules: Alaska, Colorado, Nevada (for certain workers), and a few others. ### What about salaried employees? Salaried non-exempt employees (a small category — most salaried workers are exempt) get overtime at 1.5× their effective hourly rate. To compute that: divide the salary by the number of hours the salary is intended to cover (typically 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year), then multiply by 1.5 for OT. The tool does not currently support this; use the salary calculator + this overtime calculator separately and combine. ## Related tools - [Paycheck Calculator](https://uttir.com/paycheck-calculator) — Calculate your take-home pay per period.
