How Time In A Half Calculator Works

Add your rate and work hours. The tool works out your pay on your device. Change a number and the results update at once.

1. Enter your pay

Type your hourly rate. If you use yearly pay, choose Annual Salary. This mode assumes 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, or 2,080 hours a year.

2. Pick a multiplier

Choose time and a half to get 1.5 times your rate. Choose double time to get twice your rate. You can also enter your own factor.

3. Add your hours

Add your regular hours and extra hours. Or turn on Daily Timesheet Mode and enter each day. That mode counts hours over 40 in a week as overtime.

4. Review and share

Read your extra pay and total pay before tax. See what the same week could earn over a year. Copy the result, print it or save a PDF.

Everything You Need to Know About Time and a Half

What is Time and a Half?

Time and a half means 1.5 times your normal hourly rate. If you earn $20 an hour, this rate is $30. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) gives covered, non-exempt workers this rate for hours over 40 in one seven-day workweek.

How to Calculate

First, work out the rate for your extra hours. Then add the two parts of your pay:

Overtime Rate = Regular Rate × 1.5
Total Pay = (Reg Hours × Reg Rate) + (OT Hours × OT Rate)

Our salary mode divides yearly pay by 2,080 hours. This assumes a 40-hour week for 52 weeks. Your actual regular rate may depend on your job terms.

State Daily Overtime Rules

The basic federal rule uses a 40-hour workweek. Some states also have daily rules. The hours and rates depend on the state, job and any exemptions. Check which rules apply to your work before you use a result for payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get your overtime rate, then multiply that rate by the overtime hours you worked. For example, at $20 per hour the time and a half rate is $30 per hour, so 5 overtime hours add $150 to your regular pay.

Time and a half pays 1.5 times your regular rate and is the federal FLSA minimum for overtime beyond 40 hours in a workweek. Double time pays 2 times your regular rate. Federal law does not require double time, but some states (such as California for hours over 12 in a day) and many union or company policies do.

No. Overtime is taxed as ordinary wages, but a larger paycheck can cause your employer to withhold a higher percentage for that pay period, and any excess is reconciled when you file. For tax years 2025 through 2028, U.S. workers can also claim a federal income tax deduction for qualified overtime: the premium "half" portion of FLSA-required overtime, up to $12,500 per year ($25,000 for joint filers), reduced at higher incomes. Social Security, Medicare, and most state taxes still apply.

It depends on whether the role is classified as "exempt" or "non-exempt" under the FLSA. Salaried employees who earn less than the Department of Labor salary threshold, or who do not meet the executive, administrative, or professional duties tests, are non-exempt and must receive time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.

Yes. Under FLSA rules, non-discretionary bonuses (such as production, safety, or attendance bonuses) and shift differentials must be included in your regular rate of pay before the 1.5× overtime multiplier is applied.
