Time and a half calculator
Time and a half is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate: $20 an hour becomes $30.00, so 5 overtime hours add $150.00 before tax. The table covers $12 to $50 an hour, double time and a 45-hour week. For take-home after tax, use the overtime calculator.

From gross overtime to take-home
These are gross figures. The overtime calculator takes out federal tax, Social Security, Medicare and the state line, and the no tax on overtime calculator estimates the 2026 premium deduction. Overtime rules come from the Fair Labor Standards Act; see the Department of Labor overtime page.

Questions
How do you calculate time and a half?
Multiply the regular hourly rate by 1.5. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30.00, so 5 overtime hours add $150.00 gross.
When does overtime start?
Federal law (FLSA) requires time and a half after 40 hours in a workweek for covered, non-exempt employees. Some states add daily overtime, such as California after 8 hours in a day.
Is overtime taxed more?
It is taxed as regular wages. It can look larger because the extra pay raises the check. See [how overtime is taxed](/how-is-overtime-taxed) and the [overtime calculator](/overtime-calculator).
