Overtime Calculator
Split a week of daily hours into regular, overtime, and double-time using FLSA weekly-40, daily-8, or both (California-style). Optional pay.
How to use this overtime calculator
Most U.S. non-exempt employees get 1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek (FLSA). Some states, notably California, also require daily overtime after 8 hours and double-time after 12. This overtime calculator lets you switch the rule so you are not mixing them up. It is hours you already know per day—not punches.
Formula
Worked example
Five 10-hour days: weekly-40 → 40 regular + 10 OT. Daily-8 → 40 regular + 10 OT as well. Five 13-hour days on daily-8 also create double-time after 12.

Frequently asked questions
Is overtime after 40 or after 8?
Federal law is 40 in the workweek. Daily-8 is a state/contract rule. Pick the rule that matches your job.
What is double time?
Often 2× wage after 12 hours in a day where daily OT applies. Set the DT multiplier if your policy differs.
Does this include weekly AND daily?
Use “Both.” Daily OT/DT is taken first; leftover regular hours over 40 become weekly OT.
