What is Time and a Half Pay Calculator?
Time and a half pay is 1.5 times an employee's standard hourly wage, serving as the cornerstone of overtime and holiday pay calculations. This rate applies when employees work beyond the standard workweek hours (typically 40 hours) or during designated holidays.
For example, if an employee's standard hourly rate is $20, their time and a half pay would be $30 per hour ($20 × 1.5 = $30).
The legal basis for time and a half pay is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) in the United States, which mandates overtime compensation for eligible employees working beyond 40 hours in a workweek. This law promotes fair wage practices and protects workers from exploitation through excessively long work hours.
Who Is Eligible for Time and a Half Pay?
Eligibility for time and a half pay depends on whether an employee is classified as exempt or non-exempt under the FLSA:
Non-Exempt Employees ✓
Covered by FLSA overtime provisions and eligible for time and a half pay after 40 hours per week. This includes most hourly workers and certain salaried employees earning below the annual salary threshold.
Exempt Employees ✗
Not eligible for overtime pay under FLSA. These typically include executive, professional, administrative, or outside sales roles that meet specific job duty criteria and salary thresholds.

Guide to Calculating Time and a Half for Hourly Employees
To calculate time and a half pay for hourly employees, follow these 5 steps:
Step 1: Determine the Standard Hourly Rate
Identify the employee's regular pay rate per hour. Example: $20/hour.
Step 2: Calculate the Time and a Half Rate
Multiply the standard rate by 1.5.
Time and a Half Rate = $20 × 1.5 = $30/hour Step 3: Identify Overtime Hours Worked
Count hours worked beyond 40 in the workweek. Example: 50 hours worked − 40 standard hours = 10 overtime hours.
Step 4: Calculate Overtime Wages
Multiply overtime hours by the time and a half rate.
Overtime Pay = 10 hours × $30 = $300 Step 5: Calculate Total Pay
Add standard wages to overtime wages.
Total = ($20 × 40) + $300 = $800 + $300 = $1,100 Try It Yourself: Interactive Calculator

Calculating Overtime for Salaried Employees
Salaried employees require 6 steps to calculate overtime pay, as their compensation must first be converted to an hourly rate:
Step 1: Weekly Salary
Annual salary ÷ 52 weeks
$52,000 ÷ 52 = $1,000/week
Step 2: Hourly Rate
Weekly salary ÷ 40 hours
$1,000 ÷ 40 = $25/hour
Step 3: Time and a Half Rate
Hourly rate × 1.5
$25 × 1.5 = $37.50/hour
Step 4: Overtime Hours
Hours worked − 40
45 − 40 = 5 OT hours
Step 5: Overtime Wages
OT hours × OT rate
5 × $37.50 = $187.50
Step 6: Total Pay
Weekly salary + OT wages
$1,000 + $187.50 = $1,187.50
Special Considerations: Holiday Pay and Unusual Shifts
Holiday Pay Calculation
Holiday pay is not federally mandated in the United States but is commonly offered by employers as an incentive. Many employers pay time and a half for recognized holidays, including New Year's Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Example: An employee earning $20/hour working on a holiday would receive $30/hour ($20 standard + $10 holiday premium).
Compensation for Unusual Shifts
Some employers offer a shift differential for night shifts or weekend work—typically a percentage added to the standard rate. For instance, a 10% shift differential on a $20/hour rate results in $22/hour for night shifts.
Common Scenarios and Exceptions
- • Overtime on Holidays: May be calculated using the holiday pay rate, significantly increasing compensation.
- • Consecutive Weekend Work: May qualify for additional compensation or comp time beyond standard overtime.
- • Exempt Employees: Generally do not receive extra pay for holidays or unusual shifts, though employers may offer compensatory time.

What is Overtime Pay?
Overtime pay is compensation for hours worked beyond the standard 40-hour workweek, typically calculated at a higher rate than regular wages. In the United States, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5 times their regular rate for overtime hours. Overtime pay applies to work on holidays, weekends, or hours exceeding the standard 8-hour workday, depending on employer policy and state law.

How Do I Calculate My Overtime Pay?
Multiply your hourly rate by 1.5, then multiply by the number of overtime hours worked. Try the interactive calculator below:
Step 1: Enter Your Hourly Rate
Step 2: Your Time and a Half Rate
$20.00 × 1.5 = $30.00 Step 3: Calculate Total Overtime Pay
Formula: Time and a Half = Standard Rate × 1.5 × Overtime Hours
What is Double-Time Pay?
Double-time pay is twice the employee's standard hourly wage, offered for work during specific conditions such as exceeding a certain number of hours in a day or week, or working on certain holidays.
Example: If your standard rate is $20/hour, your double-time rate is $40/hour ($20 × 2 = $40). Note: Only California has a state law requiring employers to pay double time under specific conditions.
Pay Rate Multiplier Comparison
Based on $20/hr standard rate. California requires double-time for 12+ hours/day or 8+ hours on 7th consecutive day.
Is Overtime Pay a Federal Mandate in the United States?
Yes. According to the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires employers to pay non-exempt employees overtime for hours worked in excess of 40 in a given workweek. The minimum overtime rate is 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay.
How Do I Calculate Time and a Half Plus My Standard Salary?
Follow these 3 steps to calculate your week's earnings:
- 1 Multiply your standard rate by 40 hours to get your regular weekly wages.
- 2 Multiply your standard rate by 1.5, then by your overtime hours to get overtime wages.
- 3 Add both amounts together for your total weekly pay.
