Time and a Half Calculator

How the time and a half calculator works

This overtime calculator is built for anyone who needs a fast, accurate time and a half pay estimate. Enter your hourly wage, regular hours (typically up to 40 per week), and any overtime hours worked. The tool instantly multiplies overtime hours by 1.5× your hourly rate — the standard time-and-a-half required by federal and many state labor laws. The result shows regular pay, overtime pay, and total combined earnings.

For example, if your hourly wage is $24 and you work 45 hours in a week (40 regular + 5 overtime), your regular pay is $960. The 5 overtime hours are paid at $36/hour (1.5 × $24), adding $180. Your total weekly earnings become $1,140. This overtime pay calculator handles any combination of hours and rates, making it perfect for employees checking their pay or employers estimating labor costs.

Note: This tool assumes a standard 40-hour workweek for regular time, with all additional hours paid at time-and-a-half. Some industries or states may have different overtime thresholds — always verify with your local labor department. Use this time and a half calculator as a quick reference for planning, budgeting, or verifying your paycheck.
