Overtime Calculator

Follow the steps below to get an approximate value of your overtime case, assuming you are not otherwise exempt.

STEP #1: Enter the total number of weeks that you were employed (only consider those weeks in which you worked more than 40 hours).

STEP #2: Enter your hourly rate. If you were paid a salary, divide your total salary by the number of hours that you understood the salary would cover. This number is your hourly rate. (For example, if your salary was $400 per week, and it was intended to cover 40 hours, then your hourly rate is $10/hr.)

STEP #3: Enter the number of overtime hours you worked each week. (For example, if you worked 50 hours, then you worked 10 hours of overtime).

STEP #4: Did you receive:

I received straight time (my hourly rate) for all hours that I worked.
I received the same salary, regardless of the number of hours that I worked.
I was paid hourly up to 40 hours per week and received no additional pay if I worked more than 40 hours.



Calculate Your Unpaid Overtime

To calculate overtime pay, you must first find out your regular hourly rate. First, divide your total weekly pay by the number of hours worked. Your total pay should also include any bonuses and commission. The resulting number is your regular hourly rate.

To calculate your overtime pay rate, multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5. Every hour worked over 40 in a single workweek should be paid at this rate. Therefore, if you make $14 per hour you should be paid $21 for every hour of overtime.

If you have been denied overtime at your job, you may be eligible to recover unpaid overtime through a lawsuit. Fill out our free case evaluation form to speak with an overtime attorney today.

Employees calculating their overtime pay rate should also ensure that all their hours worked are present in their paycheck. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the following job duties should be considered as hours worked:

  • At-home work
  • Some on call time
  • Breaks lasting between 5 and 20 minutes
  • Training sessions
  • Time spent in dispute resolution meetings
  • Time spent waiting for work
  • Time spent receiving medical treatment at the worksite

If these hours are not included in your paycheck, you may be able to collect back pay through an overtime lawsuit. Contact our overtime attorneys today for a free evaluation of your claim.

  • Your Rights

    Federal law requires employers to pay employees time and a half for all hours worked over 40 hours per week, unless you fall within an exemption. If your employer has violated federal law, the employer may be required to pay you your past unpaid overtime, interest, an additional amount equal to the unpaid overtime, plus costs and attorney fees.
