Overtime Pay Calculator 2025 – Time‑and‑a‑Half and Double Time
Introduction
Overtime rules can be confusing, especially with shift differentials and multiple rates. Use this guide to calculate time‑and‑a‑half, double time, and blended overtime rates—and to estimate the after‑tax impact.
Common Rules (Check Local Law/Policy)
- Overtime threshold: >40 hours/week (federal baseline)
- Overtime rate: 1.5× regular rate; some roles get 2× for certain hours/holidays
- Blended rates: average base when multiple rates apply in a week
Formulas
- Regular overtime: overtime_hours × hourly × 1.5
- Double time: dt_hours × hourly × 2.0
- Blended: average of weighted hourly rates × 1.5
Example
Base $22/hr, 8 OT hours: 8 × 22 × 1.5 = $264 overtime pay
Multiple Rates and Blended OT
When you work at two base rates in the same week, calculate a weighted average base, then apply 1.5×.
Example: 20 hours at $20 + 20 hours at $24 → blended base $22; 5 OT hours → 5 × $22 × 1.5 = $165
Scheduling and Threshold Nuances
- Weekly threshold is common, but some contracts/regions use daily thresholds (e.g., >8 hours/day)
- Holidays may trigger double time; check employer policy or CBA
Taxes and Net Impact
- Overtime increases gross wages and is taxed with regular payroll
- Higher gross may push part of income into a higher marginal bracket for that period
Taxes and Benefits
- Overtime is regular wages (not supplemental) if paid with normal payroll
