Time and a Half Calculator

Enter your regular hourly wage and hours worked to instantly calculate your time-and-a-half overtime pay.

What is Time and a Half? #

Time and a half is the overtime pay rate equal to 1.5× your regular hourly wage. Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most non-exempt employees must receive time-and-a-half for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek.

Time and a Half Formula #

OT Rate = Regular Rate × 1.5
OT Pay = OT Hours × OT Rate

Quick Example #

If your regular rate is $20/hr and you work 5 hours of overtime:

  • OT Rate = $20 × 1.5 = $30/hr
  • OT Pay = 5 hrs × $30 = $150
  • Regular Pay = 40 hrs × $20 = $800
  • Total Gross = $950
