Overtime rules by state
How overtime pay is worked out
Add up everything you earned at straight time in the workweek — hourly pay for every hour plus any non-discretionary bonus, commission or shift differential — and divide by all hours worked. That is your regular rate. Each overtime hour then earns half of that rate on top of the straight time already counted (or a full extra rate for double time).
Your state can only add protection, never take it away. So the calculator applies the federal 40-hour rule everywhere and layers each state’s extra triggers on top, paying every hour at the single highest rate that applies. The week grid shows the result day by day: grey is regular time, orange is time and a half, black is double time.
