Overtime is the fastest legal raise most hourly workers ever get — but only if you know what the extra hours actually pay.

FAQ
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 in a workweek. At $22/hour, the OT rate is $33 — so 6 overtime hours add $198 to the week.
Is overtime based on a day or a week?
Federal law uses the workweek (over 40 hours). Some states go further — California requires 1.5× after 8 hours in a day and 2× after 12 — so check your state's rules as well.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Only if they are non-exempt. Exemption depends on both a salary threshold and job duties under the FLSA; many salaried roles under the threshold still qualify for OT.
Is overtime taxed more?
No — overtime is taxed as ordinary income at the same rates. A bigger paycheck can mean more withholding that week, but your annual effective rate doesn't change just because hours did.
Accuracy and limitations
- Results are estimates before tax, fees, and inflation unless an input explicitly covers them.
- Rates are treated as fixed for the whole period — variable-rate products will drift from this projection.
- This is educational maths, not financial advice. Check anything contractual with the lender or your accountant.
