How does the overtime calculator work?
Hours up to the threshold are paid at your regular rate. Every hour above it is paid at the overtime rate you choose. A shift differential is added for the hours you enter.
Example: 45 hours at $20
40 regular hours × $20 = $800. 5 overtime hours × $30 (time and a half) = $150. Total: $950 gross for the week.
Shift differentials and overtime
Night and weekend shifts often pay a differential. Under the FLSA it raises your regular rate, so overtime is paid on the blended rate rather than your base pay alone. The calculator does this for you. To see how much the differential adds on its own, try the shift differential calculator.
