US federal law: overtime is paid at 1.5 times your hourly pay for every hour over 40 in a week. Some states (such as California) also count overtime by the day, which this calculator does not do.

US Overtime Rules You Need to Know

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay of at least 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The FLSA workweek is any fixed 7-consecutive-day period — it doesn't have to match the calendar week. Overtime is calculated weekly, not daily — so 9 hours on Monday followed by 4 hours Friday doesn't trigger daily overtime at the federal level (though some states like California have daily overtime rules).

California vs Federal Overtime Rules

California has stricter rules than federal law: daily overtime (1.5×) kicks in after 8 hours in a single day, and double time (2×) applies after 12 hours in a day or after 8 hours on the 7th consecutive workday. Alaska, Nevada, and Puerto Rico also have daily overtime provisions. If you're in California, the calculator above understates your overtime entitlement — you may be owed more than shown.

Salaried vs Hourly: Who Gets Overtime?

Salaried employees earning above $684/week ($35,568/year) are typically "exempt" from overtime under FLSA — meaning their employer is not legally required to pay overtime regardless of hours worked. This doesn't mean all salaried workers are exempt; job duties must also meet the executive, administrative, or professional exemption tests. If your employer misclassifies you as exempt when you shouldn't be, you can file a wage claim with the Department of Labor for back pay going up to 2–3 years.
