Arizona Overtime Calculator

Arizona has no overtime law of its own, so the federal Fair Labor Standards Act applies: non-exempt employees get time and a half, 1.5 times their regular rate, for every hour over 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime, so a long day only counts if the week goes over 40 hours. At $20 an hour, a 50-hour week pays $1,100: 40 hours at $20 and 10 hours at $30.

Overtime law in Arizona

  • Arizona has no overtime law of its own, so the federal Fair Labor Standards Act sets the rule: time and a half for hours over 40 in a workweek. There is no daily overtime and no required double time.
  • A workweek is a fixed, repeating 7-day period set by your employer. Each week stands alone: hours cannot be averaged over two weeks.
  • Overtime is paid on your regular rate, which includes most bonuses and shift differentials, not just your base hourly pay.
  • Salaried employees who meet the federal executive, administrative or professional tests, and some other jobs, are exempt from overtime.

Frequently asked questions

When does overtime start in Arizona?

After 40 hours in a workweek. Arizona has no daily overtime, so working 10 or 12 hours in one day earns overtime only if your total for the week is over 40.

Does Arizona have daily overtime?

No. Arizona only counts hours per workweek, a fixed 7-day period set by your employer. Hours over 40 in that week are paid at time and a half.

Is double time required in Arizona?

No. Arizona law does not require double time for any hours, weekends or holidays. Some employers and union contracts pay it anyway.

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.
