How overtime is taxed in North Dakota
Overtime is not taxed at a special rate — it is ordinary income stacked on top of your regular wages. At $25/hr with 5 extra hours a week, the $9,750 of OT pay keeps about $7,834 after federal income tax, 7.65% FICA and North Dakota state tax.
Who qualifies for overtime
The Fair Labor Standards Act requires 1.5× pay after 40 hours in a workweek for non-exempt (usually hourly) employees. Salaried workers earning below the federal exemption threshold also qualify. Some states add daily overtime rules — check your state labor office if you work long single days.

FAQ
How much is overtime pay in North Dakota?
At least 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for hours over 40 in a workweek — $25/hr becomes $37.50. The calculator above shows what those extra hours are worth after North Dakota taxes.
Is overtime taxed more?
No special overtime tax exists, but OT dollars sit on top of your regular pay, so they are taxed at your marginal bracket. Expect to keep roughly 70–80 cents of each overtime dollar.
Can my employer refuse to pay overtime?
If you are a non-exempt employee, no — overtime pay is required by federal law even if the extra hours were not pre-approved. Exempt salaried employees above the salary threshold are not covered.
The same income arriving as a bonus is taxed at a flat supplemental rate; supplemental withholding on bonuses covers that case.
