Daily overtime? Use the time card

This calculator splits a week at 40 hours. If you live in a state with daily overtime, or want to add up clock-in and clock-out times, the Time Card Calculator works out each day’s regular, overtime and double-time hours for you.

Rules from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act and state wage laws: US Department of Labor: Overtime pay, California Labor Commissioner: Overtime FAQ, Colorado COMPS Order, Nevada Labor Commissioner: Overtime, Alaska Wage and Hour: Overtime. Checked 10 November 2026. Overtime applies to non-exempt employees; salaried staff who meet the executive, administrative or professional tests, and some other jobs, are exempt. Union contracts and employer policies can pay more. This is an estimate of gross pay before tax, not legal advice.

  2. 2 Enter the total hours you worked in the workweek.
  3. 3 Add any double-time hours, or switch the overtime rate to 2× if your employer pays double.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate time and a half?

Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour. Then multiply by your overtime hours: 10 hours of overtime at $20 an hour pays $300 on top of your regular pay.

When does overtime start?

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, after 40 hours in a workweek. California, Alaska and Nevada also pay overtime after 8 hours in a day, and Colorado after 12 hours in a day.

Who is not entitled to overtime?

Exempt employees: mainly salaried staff who meet the executive, administrative or professional duties tests, plus some outside sales, computer and farm jobs. Most hourly workers are non-exempt and must get overtime.

Do paid holidays and sick days count toward overtime?

No. Under federal law only hours actually worked count toward the 40. A week with a paid holiday and 40 hours worked has no overtime, unless your employer’s policy says otherwise.

Is overtime taxed more?

No. Overtime is taxed at the same rates as other pay, but a bigger paycheck can mean more is withheld from it. From 2025 to 2028 a federal deduction lets many workers deduct up to $12,500 of the extra half of their overtime pay ($25,000 for joint filers) on their tax return.

What is double time?

Twice your regular rate. Federal law never requires it; California does after 12 hours in a day and after 8 hours on the seventh day in a row. Some employers and union contracts pay it for holidays or long shifts.
