Free Online Overtime Calculators

Are you eligible for overtime pay? Not sure how much you’ll receive? Do you need a quick way to figure out how much you can earn when working overtime? There are free online calculators you can use to estimate your overtime pay. In addition, the U.S. Department of Labor has a free app to track your overtime and earnings.

Here’s an overview of who’s eligible for overtime pay, how much you can expect to receive, and a list of free calculators and apps to figure out how much overtime you’ll receive and how much your take-home pay will be.

Who’s Eligible for Overtime Pay

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, unless they are exempt from overtime pay requirements, employees covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 in a work week at a rate not less than time and a half their regular rates of pay. 

Examples of Overtime Pay

How much extra can you make when you’re getting paid overtime? It depends on the overtime multiplier. The overtime multiplier is the extra pay you’ll receive, such as time and a half, double time, or even triple time.

For example, if an employee is paid $15 per hour, the overtime pay rate at time and a half is $22.50 per hour ($15 plus $7.50) for hours worked over the standard (typically 40). So, the employee would be paid $15 an hour for the first 40 hours worked and $22.50 for each hour worked over 40.

In some cases, employees may be eligible for double time. When they are, the employee would be paid, for example, $15 per regular hour worked and $30 per overtime hour. For triple-time pay, the rate would be $45 an hour.

How To Calculate Overtime Pay

To use an overtime calculator, you’ll need to know a few things to get started, including your overtime pay rate, how many hours you work in a standard week, how many hours of overtime you work or expect to work, and how frequently you are paid.

Here’s what you’ll need to know to calculate overtime pay:

• Your standard hourly wage ($15/hour, for example)
• Your regular work week (40 hours, for example)
• Overtime rate (time and a half, double time, triple time)
• Pay period (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly)
