Formula & methodology
How to Calculate Overtime Pay
Under the U.S. Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees receive at least 1.5× their regular hourly pay rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek:
Base Pay = Hourly Pay Rate × Standard Hours Overtime Pay Rate = Hourly Pay Rate × Overtime Multiplier Overtime Pay = Overtime Pay Rate × Overtime Hours Total Pay = (Base Pay + Overtime Pay) × Pay Period Multiplier
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the standard overtime multiplier?
Under federal FLSA rules, the minimum overtime multiplier for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours a week is 1.5x (time and a half). Many companies also offer 2.0x (double time) for holidays or excessive shift lengths.
Who qualifies for overtime pay?
All hourly and salaried non-exempt employees qualify for overtime pay unless they meet both the salary-level and job-duties tests for an FLSA executive, administrative, or professional exemption.
How does bi-weekly or monthly overtime work?
Even if you run payroll bi-weekly or monthly, FLSA overtime must be calculated per 7-day workweek—you cannot average a 50-hour week and a 30-hour week to avoid paying 10 hours of overtime.
