How to Calculate Overtime Pay
Overtime pay is calculated using your regular hourly rate and an overtime multiplier. The most common multiplier is time and a half (1.5×), but some employers may offer double time (2×) or other rates.
Overtime Formula
Overtime Pay = (Regular Rate × Overtime Multiplier) × Overtime Hours
Example: $20/hr × 1.5 × 10 hours = $300 overtime pay
Your total pay is the sum of your standard pay (regular rate × normal hours) plus your overtime pay.

|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $22.50 | $30.00 |

| $25.00 | $37.50 | $50.00 |
