Formula
Total = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × 1.5 + double-time hours × rate × 2. Overtime is time-and-a-half; double time pays twice the base rate.
How it works
Federal law requires 1.5× pay beyond 40 hours a week. Double time (2×) isn't federally required — it comes from state rules (like California's) or union and company policies for long shifts, holidays, or seventh consecutive days.
Frequently asked questions
When do I get double-time pay?⌄
Double time isn't required by federal law. It typically comes from state law (e.g. California over 12 hours in a day), union contracts, or employer policy for holidays and long shifts.
How is overtime pay calculated?⌄
Under federal law, hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5× your regular rate. Some states have daily overtime rules on top of the weekly one.
Is overtime taxed more?⌄
No — overtime is taxed like ordinary wages. It can push more of your pay into a higher withholding bracket for that check, but the rate on overtime itself isn't special.
Sources & methodology
Regular + 1.5× overtime + 2× double time. Double-time eligibility depends on state law and employer policy.
