How overtime pay is calculated
Overtime hours are paid at your base rate times a multiplier — most commonly 1.5 (“time and a half”). Some union contracts or holiday rules use 2.0 (“double time”). Your total pay is regular hours at the base rate, plus overtime hours at the higher rate.
The overtime premium is the part that's genuinely extra: the difference between what you're paid for those hours and what straight time would have paid.
Why the blended rate matters
If you regularly work overtime, your effective pay across every hour — the blended rate — is higher than your base rate but lower than your overtime rate. It's the number to use when comparing this job to one with a higher base salary and no overtime.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Multiply your base hourly rate by the overtime multiplier (usually 1.5), then by the number of overtime hours. Add that to your regular hours at the base rate. This calculator also projects it to a weekly and annual total.
What is the overtime premium?
The extra pay you get for overtime hours compared to being paid straight time for them. At 1.5x, the premium is half your base rate for each overtime hour.
I'm salaried — can I still use this?
Yes. Convert your salary to an hourly rate first: divide annual salary by your yearly hours (often 2,080). Note that many salaried roles are exempt from overtime under US law.
Does this include taxes?
No. All figures are gross (pre-tax) and labeled as estimates.
