A time and half calculator is a free online tool that calculates your overtime pay at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate. It is the standard overtime rate required by federal law (FLSA) for non-exempt employees working more than 40 hours per week. Our calculator shows you exactly how much extra money you earn from overtime hours.
Use our Time and a Half Calculator above to get instant results.

If you prefer to calculate without a tool, here is the formula:
Time and Half Rate = Regular Rate x 1.5
Weekly OT Pay = Time and Half Rate x OT Hours
Annual OT Pay = Weekly OT Pay x 52
