Salary with Overtime Calculator

Calculating Salaried Overtime Pay

Many employees believe that earning a fixed salary means they are ineligible for overtime pay. However, under labor laws such as the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt salaried employees are legally entitled to overtime compensation when working more than 40 hours per workweek.

The Salary with Overtime Calculator converts your base salary into a regular hourly rate, applies standard overtime multipliers (1.5x time-and-a-half or 2.0x double time), and calculates your total gross paycheck for any pay period.

How Salaried Overtime is Calculated

To calculate overtime pay for a salaried employee, first determine the regular hourly rate $H_{\text{base}}$ by dividing weekly base pay $P_{\text{weekly}}$ by regular contract hours $W_{\text{reg}}$ (typically 40 hours):

$$ H_{\text{base}} = \frac{P_{\text{weekly}}}{W_{\text{reg}}} $$

The 1.5x overtime hourly rate $H_{\text{OT}}$ and total weekly pay $P_{\text{total}}$ are calculated as:

$$ H_{\text{OT}} = H_{\text{base}} \times 1.5 $$

$$ P_{\text{total}} = P_{\text{weekly}} + (H_{\text{OT}} \times \text{Overtime Hours}) + (2 \times H_{\text{base}} \times \text{Double Time Hours}) $$

Exempt vs Non-Exempt Salaried Status

• Exempt Employees: Salaried workers who meet specific executive, administrative, or professional duties tests and earn above the statutory salary threshold are exempt from overtime.
• Non-Exempt Employees: Salaried workers who do not meet exemption criteria must receive 1.5 times their regular rate for all hours worked past 40 in a workweek.
