How overtime pay works
For most hourly (non-exempt) workers in the U.S., the federal FLSA requires overtime of at least 1.5× the regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek. Your overtime rate is your hourly wage multiplied by 1.5 (or 2× for double time). Total weekly pay is your regular hours at your normal rate plus your overtime hours at the overtime rate. Overtime earnings are taxed like any other wages.
Frequently asked questions
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5× their regular hourly rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. So if you earn $25/hour, your overtime rate is $37.50/hour.
What is time-and-a-half?
Time-and-a-half means 1.5 times your normal hourly wage. Some employers or contracts pay double time (2×) for holidays or excessive hours, but 1.5× is the federal minimum for qualifying overtime.
Is overtime taxed more than regular pay?
No — overtime is taxed at the same rates as your other income. It can push more of your income into a higher bracket, but only the dollars above each threshold are taxed at the higher rate.
