Estimate regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross earnings for a workweek.
How the estimate works
Enter the values supplied by your employer, written policy, or work record. The result updates in your browser and is not saved.
Formula
Estimated overtime pay = base hourly rate × overtime hours × overtime multiplier. Total gross earnings add regular pay and overtime pay.
Worked example
Inputs: $22 per hour, 40 regular hours, 8 overtime hours, and a 1.5× multiplier.
Result: $880.00 regular pay + $264.00 overtime pay = $1,144.00 gross earnings.
How to read the result
For many covered, nonexempt employees, federal overtime is based on hours over 40 in a workweek. Your classification, regular rate, state law, contract, or employer policy can change the correct treatment.
Important limitations
- This tool does not determine whether an employee is exempt or nonexempt.
- It does not calculate blended regular rates, nondiscretionary bonuses, tip credits, or state daily-overtime rules.
- The entered multiplier is an assumption, not a legal conclusion.
