Time and a Half Calculator

What is Time and a Half?

Time and a half means an employee earns 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for overtime hours worked.

In most cases across the United States, overtime applies when a non-exempt employee works more than 40 hours in a workweek.

For example:

• Regular hourly rate: $15
• Time and a half rate: $15 × 1.5 = $22.5 per hour

So, if you work overtime, you earn $22.5 per hour instead of $15.

How to Calculate Time and a Half

Let's break it down into simple steps.

Step 1: Determine Your Regular Hourly Rate

• Hourly rate = $26

If you are salaried but non-exempt, divide your weekly salary by 40 hours.

• Weekly salary = $1,200
• $1,200 ÷ 40 = $30 per hour

Step 2: Multiply by 1.5

Time and a half formula:

• Overtime Rate = Regular Hourly Rate × 1.5

Example:

• $26 × 1.5 = $39 per overtime hour

Step 3: Calculate Overtime Pay

Let's say you worked 48 hours this week.

• Regular hours: 40
• Overtime hours: 8

Regular pay: 40 × $26 = $1,040

Overtime pay: 8 × $39 = $312

Total weekly pay: $1,040 + $312 = $1352

That extra 8 hours added $312 to your paycheck.
