Overtime after a threshold
Federal FLSA overtime for covered, non-exempt employees is generally one-and-a-half times the regular rate of pay for hours after 40 in a workweek. The regular rate is not always the base hourly wage: certain bonuses and other compensation can affect it. Enter a regular rate that has already been determined for the period. Regular hours are the hours at or below the threshold; overtime hours are the rest.
Overtime hours = max(0, hours in period − overtime threshold)
Overtime rate = regular rate of pay × multiplier
Total pay = regular hours × regular rate + overtime hours × overtime rate
Example
If the regular rate is $20 for a 46-hour workweek, overtime after 40 at 1.5× produces $800 of regular pay plus $180 for 6 overtime hours, or $980 total. A single 10-hour day entered with an 8-hour threshold produces 8 regular and 2 overtime hours, but this page does not combine a daily rule with the weekly FLSA calculation.
What this paycheck leaves out
Coverage and exemption status, computing the legally required regular rate from bonuses or different rates, stacked daily and weekly rules, double-time tiers, meal premiums, and withholding sit outside this page. Use one internally consistent period and check the applicable federal, state, contract, and employer rules.
