How It Works
Working past your standard hours pays more, and this tool pins down exactly how much, whether your extra hours earn time-and-a-half or double time. With wages and the cost of living still shifting heading into 2026, a clear split of your regular, overtime, and total pay, weekly and annual, helps you budget and confirm you are being paid correctly for the additional hours.
The math rests on your regular hourly rate and how many overtime hours you log. Under time-and-a-half, the overtime rate is your hourly rate multiplied by 1.5; under double time, it is the hourly rate times 2. That overtime rate, applied to your overtime hours and added to your regular earnings (regular hours times the hourly rate), yields total weekly pay. Multiply that weekly figure by 52 weeks for the annual total.
Check your employer's overtime policy before relying on these numbers, since some workplaces set thresholds or rates that go beyond federal or state minimums. Unpaid breaks and lunch periods can trim your counted hours and change the overtime owed. Note too that this tool works in gross terms and does not subtract pre-tax deductions or contributions.
Example: Overtime Pay for a Retail Associate in 2026
- 1 Sarah, a retail associate in 2026, earns $18.50 per hour. Last week, she worked 45 hours, with 5 hours at time-and-a-half.
- 2 Regular Pay: 40 hours * $18.50/hour = $740.00. Overtime Rate: $18.50 * 1.5 = $27.75/hour. Overtime Pay: 5 hours * $27.75/hour = $138.75.
- 3 Total Weekly Pay: $740.00 + $138.75 = $878.75. Total Annual Pay: $878.75 * 52 weeks = $45,700.50.
- 4 This example shows Sarah's total earnings, including her regular and overtime pay, for the week and projected annually. This helps her understand the financial benefit of her extra work hours.
