How overtime pay is calculated
Overtime pay = Hourly rate × 1.5 × Overtime hours
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek. At $22/hour, your overtime rate is $33/hour — eight overtime hours add $264 to a $880 regular week, a 30% bigger paycheck for 20% more hours.
Time and a half vs double time
| Pay type | Multiplier | When it applies (typical) |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | 1× | First 40 hours per week |
| Time and a half | 1.5× | Hours over 40/week (federal FLSA) |
| Double time | 2× | Not federally required; California requires it past 12 hours/day, some union contracts and holidays |
Salaried employees classified as exempt (executive, administrative, professional roles above a salary threshold) generally get no overtime — one reason to compare offers with the salary to hourly calculator using your real hours.
