Overtime Calculator

Federal rule: non-exempt hourly workers earn 1.5× past 40 hrs/week. Some states (California, and daily-OT rules) and union contracts add double-time. Enter OT hours in the main calculator — it annualizes OT at your multiplier and taxes it like ordinary wages.

$25 + 5 OT hrs

$25 × 40 + $37.50 × 5 = $1,187.50/week → $61,750/yr

$35 + 8 OT hrs

$35 × 40 + $52.50 × 8 = $1,820/week → $94,640/yr

$20 + 10 OT hrs (2× weekend)

$20 × 40 + $40 × 10 = $1,200/week → $62,400/yr

Tax sting to expect: OT stacks on top, so it’s taxed at your marginal rate, not your average. In the 22% bracket that $300 OT shift keeps ~$210 after federal + ~$23 FICA — still worth it, just not the full $300.
