Overtime Pay Estimate
Estimate regular pay, overtime pay, and total gross pay from an hourly rate and overtime multiplier.
Important estimate limitations
This workplace calculator provides an estimate only and is not legal, tax, payroll, HR, financial, accounting, or employment advice. Pay, overtime, time card, holiday pay, deductions, and final paycheck results can depend on employer policy, payroll records, tax rules, labor rules, and individual facts. Verify important results with your employer, payroll records, official labor guidance, or a qualified professional.
What This Calculator Does Not Determine
- Overtime eligibility, the legally applicable regular rate, exemptions, daily overtime, or jurisdiction-specific rules.
- Adjustments for bonuses, commissions, multiple rates, tip credits, or other compensation.
How overtime pay is estimated
Regular pay = hourly rate x regular hours. Overtime pay = hourly rate x overtime hours x overtime multiplier.
The default multiplier is 1.5, but overtime rules can vary by job type, regular-rate calculation, policy, agreement, and location. Enter regular and overtime hours separately; this calculator does not decide which hours qualify.
Money results are rounded to cents for display after the entered rate, hours, and multiplier are multiplied.
Example overtime calculation
If your hourly rate is $25, regular hours are 40, overtime hours are 5, and the multiplier is 1.5, regular pay is $1,000 and overtime pay is $187.50.
Total estimated gross pay is $1,187.50 before taxes, deductions, premiums, or payroll adjustments.
For separate two-week entries, use the biweekly paycheck calculator. It keeps each workweek's entered regular and overtime hours separate.
Generic estimate or Texas overtime guidance?
Use this page for a general entered-hours formula. The Texas overtime pay calculator starts from total weekly hours and adds Texas-specific source guidance, while the time card calculator derives weekly hours from clock times and breaks.
What this calculator cannot decide
Once overtime is calculated, use the main paycheck calculator for a take-home estimate. Texas workers can also compare regular and overtime pay with the Texas paycheck calculator.
- Whether you are eligible for overtime.
- Whether daily overtime applies in your location.
- Whether bonuses or commissions affect regular rate.
- Whether PTO, holiday, or sick leave hours count toward overtime.
- Whether a state-specific rule changes the result.
Official Overtime References
Federal guidance describes a workweek-based overtime framework for covered non-exempt employees and explains that the regular rate can include more than a base hourly rate. Use these sources to verify the starting assumptions; they do not review TechTride estimates.
