How Overtime Pay Works

Overtime pay is calculated for hours worked beyond the standard work week (usually 40 hours). The most common overtime rate is "time and a half" (1.5x), meaning you earn 50% more per hour for overtime work.

Common Overtime Rates

1.5x (Time and a half): Standard overtime rate in the US
2x (Double time): For holidays or extended overtime
2.5x: Special circumstances or union agreements

Example Calculation

If you earn $20/hour and work 48 hours in a week:

Regular pay: 40 hours × $20 = $800
Overtime pay: 8 hours × $30 (1.5x) = $240
Total pay: $1,040
