Overtime by state

Most states pay time and a half after 40 hours in a workweek. Daily overtime applies in Alaska, California, Colorado and Nevada. See every state on the Overtime Calculator.

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.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate hours worked?

Subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time, then take off unpaid breaks. 8:30 AM to 5:15 PM is 8 hours 45 minutes; minus a 30-minute lunch, that is 8 hours 15 minutes, or 8.25 hours.

How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60. 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes 0.5 and 45 minutes 0.75, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. The calculator shows both.

How do I count a night shift that goes past midnight?

Enter the times as they are, such as 10:00 PM in and 6:30 AM out. When the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the calculator counts it as the next morning: 8 hours 30 minutes.

Are breaks paid?

Federal law treats short breaks of 5 to 20 minutes as paid work time, while meal breaks of 30 minutes or more, when you are fully relieved of duty, can be unpaid. Only enter unpaid breaks.

What is time clock rounding?

Some employers round punches to the nearest 5, 6 or 15 minutes. Under the 15-minute rule, 1 to 7 minutes round down and 8 to 14 round up. Rounding is legal if it evens out over time, but California courts have limited it.
