Flexible overtime settings
Enter the hours, hourly rate, thresholds, and multipliers that match the policy or scenario you are reviewing. The calculator reports regular, overtime, optional double-time, and estimated gross-pay results without choosing a legal rule for you.
Why the thresholds are editable
Pay arrangements and applicable rules vary. Rather than silently assuming one policy fits everyone, this calculator lets you enter the threshold and multipliers you actually need.
47 hours at $20/hour, overtime after 40, 1.5× multiplier
With the example settings entered, the calculator separates regular and overtime hours and reports an estimated gross total of $1,010.
Common questions
Can I change the overtime threshold?
Yes. The threshold is editable so the arithmetic can match the rule or pay arrangement you are evaluating.
What does the optional double-time field do?
It lets you model a separate double-time threshold and multiplier when that is part of the pay policy or scenario you are reviewing.
Does this calculator determine overtime eligibility?
No. It estimates pay from the hours, thresholds, rates, and multipliers you provide. It does not determine legal coverage or eligibility.

Start with accurate total hours
This calculator is the pay-split step: it assumes you already know the hours to evaluate. For a recurring work schedule, calculate the weekly total with the Work Hours Calculator. For different clock-in and clock-out times across the week, total them with the Time Card Calculator.
The overtime threshold and multipliers remain inputs because the correct values depend on the rule or pay arrangement you are evaluating. The calculator uses the settings you enter rather than silently choosing an eligibility rule for you.
