Now that we know how to use this overtime paycheck calculator, let's explore the details of such calculations next.

Understanding "what is my overtime pay"

Overtime pay is the financial compensation for the time worked beyond the standard work hours. Here's how we calculate this compensation manually, using the formulas:

First we calculate the total regular pay, where:

Total regular pay = Regular hours × Regular pay

For example, 40 hours × $15 per hour = $600
Next, we calculate the overtime pay, where:

Overtime pay = Regular pay × Overtime pay multiplier

For example, $15 per hour × 1.5 = $22.5 per hour
And then, we find the total overtime pay:

Total overtime pay = Overtime hours × Overtime pay

For instance, 10 hours × $22.5 per hour = $225
Finally, we get our total pay as follows:

Total pay = Total regular pay + Total overtime pay

For example, $600 + $225 = $825

We hope these calculations help ensure everyone receives fair compensation for their extra efforts.

⚠️ Some jobs and employees may be exempt from overtime rules. Always check your local labor laws and regulations to understand whether your job is exempt from overtime pay.
