Last updated: 2026-10-07 · State rules verified 2026-10-07

Works for every state, including daily overtime in California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado, California double time and seventh-day rules, and Kentucky's seventh-day premium. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

Calculate overtime pay for one workweek

Daily, weekly and seventh-day overtime by state, regular rate with bonuses and multiple pay rates, and the FLSA premium for the federal “no tax on overtime” deduction. Updates as you type.

Examples:

Commissions, production bonus, piece-rate pay this week

Flat-sum bonus this week (attendance, per-shift)

Nondiscretionary pay must be included in the regular rate. Leave out truly discretionary bonuses, gifts, expense reimbursements and premium pay that is itself overtime (29 U.S.C. §207(e)).

Employer is covered by the federal FLSA (any business with $500,000+ in annual sales, hospitals, schools, government, or any employee who handles interstate commerce — nearly all employers)

Federal “no tax on overtime” (2025–2028)

FLSA-required premium this week: $50.00 (½ × $20.00 × 5 hours over 40). Only this half-time portion of FLSA overtime can be “qualified overtime compensation” — up to $12,500 a year ($25,000 joint) of it is deductible on the employee's federal income tax return. The other $100.00 of overtime-hour pay (straight time, state-only daily or 7th-day premiums, double time above 1.5x) doesn't qualify.

Estimate for a nonexempt employee — not legal or payroll advice. Doesn't model alternative workweek schedules, the fluctuating-workweek method, Colorado's 12-consecutive-hour rule across midnight, or union contracts.

How to use it

Pick the state where the work is done (or 'Federal FLSA only') and the day your workweek starts.
Enter hours actually worked each day. Add a second or third pay rate for shift differentials or a different job.
Add commissions, production bonuses or piece-rate pay, and any flat-sum bonus earned that week.
Read the breakdown: which hours are straight time, 1.5x or 2x and why, the regular rate, total pay and the FLSA premium. Download Excel (live formulas), CSV or print.

What the calculator does — and doesn't — handle

Handles

Weekly overtime after 40 hours (or a state's own threshold for non-FLSA employers)
Daily overtime and double time, without counting any hour twice
California and Kentucky seventh-day rules
Weighted-average regular rate for two or three pay rates
Commissions, production bonuses, piece-rate pay; California's flat-sum bonus method
Alaska's 4-employee and Nevada's $18/hour daily-overtime conditions; Oregon's 10-hour mill rule

Doesn't handle

California alternative workweek schedules
The fluctuating-workweek (half-time) method for salaried nonexempt staff
Bonuses earned over more than one week (allocate them back to each week)
Hospital 8-and-80 schedules, public-sector comp time and union contracts
Colorado's 12-consecutive-hour rule for shifts that cross a workday boundary

State-by-state rules, salary thresholds and penalties are on the overtime laws by state page.
