Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the standard overtime multiplier?
For most hourly workers, standard overtime is "time and a half" (1.5x your hourly pay). However, you should check your location's local labor laws, as some holidays or extremely long shifts can require double time (2.0x).
How is overtime pay calculated?
The exact formula is very simple: your Hourly Wage multiplied by your Overtime Hours worked, multiplied by your Overtime Multiplier (like 1.5). Add this result to your normal paycheck to get your total earnings.
Do salaried workers get overtime?
This depends heavily on your local labor laws and your employment contract. Some salaried employees, like office managers, are exempt and do not receive overtime. However, many workers are still legally owed overtime even if they are on a fixed salary.
Is overtime pay taxed?
Yes. Overtime pay is treated just like standard income or supplemental wages. That means it will be heavily taxed just like the rest of your paycheck.

No. Our calculator is 100% private. All the math is done directly in your web browser. We never track your variables or save your financial information to a server.
