About

Paycheck Overtime Calculator is a free, independent tool for hourly workers who want a straight answer to "how much will my overtime actually pay?" -- built around real, state-specific overtime rules rather than a one-size-fits-all 1.5x estimate.

What it is

A browser-based calculator that takes your hourly rate and hours worked and estimates regular pay, overtime pay, and take-home pay, using the federal 40-hour weekly rule plus any state-specific daily-overtime or double-time rules that apply. See overtime laws by state for the rules behind the numbers, or the biweekly overtime calculator if you're paid every two weeks and want to see why overtime doesn't average out across a pay period.

What it isn't

This site isn't a payroll provider, employer, or law firm, and it doesn't collect the numbers you enter. It's a calculator built on publicly cited state labor-department sources, not a substitute for advice from your employer's payroll department, a licensed tax professional, or your state's labor department for your specific situation.
