Given Information

Regular Hourly Pay: $25.00 per hour

Regular Hours: 40 hours per week

Overtime Multiplier: 1.5× (time and a half)

Overtime Hours: 5 hours per week

Step-by-Step Calculation

1. Calculate Regular Pay:

Regular Pay = $25.00 × 40 hrs = $1,000.00

2. Calculate Overtime Hourly Pay:

Overtime Rate = $25.00 × 1.5 = $37.50/hr

3. Calculate Overtime Pay:

Overtime Pay = $37.50 × 5 hrs = $187.50

4. Calculate Total Pay:

Understanding Overtime Pay

What Constitutes Overtime?

Overtime is additional work performed beyond regular working hours, typically set at 40 hours per week in many countries. This extra time is compensated at a higher rate, commonly at time-and-a-half (1.5× regular rate).

  • Federal Standard: 1.5× for hours over 40 per week
  • State Laws: Some states require daily overtime (over 8 hrs/day)
  • Eligibility: Not all employees qualify based on role and salary

How Overtime Impacts Your Income

Regular overtime can significantly increase your annual earnings and is an important factor in financial planning:

  • Higher Earnings: Overtime can boost income by 10-30%
  • Budget Planning: Factor overtime into monthly budgets
  • Tax Impact: Higher earnings may push you into higher tax brackets
  • Work-Life Balance: Consider the trade-off between time and money

⚠️ Important Considerations

💡
Exempt vs. Non-Exempt: Salaried employees in certain roles (executives, professionals, administrative) may be exempt from overtime pay regardless of hours worked.
💡
State Variations: Overtime laws vary by state. California, for example, requires overtime after 8 hours in a day, while federal law is based on 40 hours per week.
💡
Gross vs. Net: These calculations show gross pay before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower after withholdings.

💼 Real-World Example

Question: If you earn $50/hour and work 45 hours (with overtime multiplier of 2.0), what's your overtime hourly pay?

Calculation:

  • • Regular Pay: 40 hours × $50 = $2,000
  • • Overtime Rate: $50 × 2.0 = $100/hour
  • • Overtime Pay: 5 hours × $100 = $500
  • Total Weekly Pay: $2,000 + $500 = $2,500
  • Annual with Overtime: $2,500 × 52 = $130,000

Without overtime: $50 × 40 × 52 = $104,000/year. The 5 hours of weekly overtime adds $26,000 to annual income!
