Overtime Calculator for Salaried Workers
Many salaried employees assume they are not eligible for overtime, but that is not always the case. Under the FLSA, you are entitled to overtime at 1.5× your regular rate (time and a half) unless you meet both the salary threshold and the duties test for an exempt classification. If your annual salary is below $35,568 ($684 per week), you qualify for overtime regardless of your job duties.
Example: Suppose you earn $45,000/year and worked 48 hours this week. First, convert to an hourly rate: $45,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $21.63/hour. Your regular pay is 40 × $21.63 = $865.38. Your 8 overtime hours at time and a half: 8 × $21.63 × 1.5 = $259.62. Your total weekly pay: $1,125.00.
If you are an hourly employee, use our hourly overtime calculator instead. To learn more about exempt vs non-exempt classifications, read our complete overtime guide.
When to Use This Salaried Calculator vs the Main Overtime Calculator
This page is for salaried workers who want a quick salary-to-hourly conversion and a weekly overtime estimate. Enter annual, monthly, or weekly pay, add total hours worked in the week, and the calculator divides salary into an hourly equivalent (annual ÷ 52 ÷ 40 by default) before applying time-and-a-half above your state's weekly threshold.
Under federal FLSA white-collar rules, many exempt employees must earn at least $684 per week ($35,568 per year) on a salary basis and meet executive, administrative, or professional duties tests to be overtime-exempt. Employees below that salary level are generally entitled to overtime regardless of job title. This calculator does not evaluate your duties or tell you whether you are exempt — it only shows the math if overtime applies to the hours you enter. Confirm classification with HR or the U.S. Department of Labor.
Use the main overtime pay calculator when you already have an hourly rate or need daily overtime / double time modes for states like California. Use this salaried page when your pay is quoted as a salary and you want a dedicated URL for "salary overtime calculator" searches. For hourly pay, use our hourly overtime calculator instead.
Estimates only — not legal, tax, or financial advice. Overtime and PTO rules vary by state, employer policy, and individual circumstances. Results are for informational purposes. Consult a qualified professional or your state labor agency for definitive guidance. See our Terms of Service.

Common Questions About Overtime Pay
Divide your annual salary by 52 (weeks per year) to get your weekly pay, then divide by 40 (standard hours) to get your hourly rate. For example: $52,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = $25/hour.
No. Being salaried doesn't automatically exempt you from overtime. You must also meet specific duties tests (executive, administrative, or professional) AND earn at least $684/week ($35,568/year).
Under current FLSA rules, employees must earn at least $684 per week ($35,568 annually) AND meet specific job duties tests to be exempt from overtime. Employees below this threshold are entitled to overtime regardless of duties.
Simply changing your title or calling you 'exempt' isn't enough. The DOL looks at your actual job duties and salary level. Misclassification is a common FLSA violation.
First, determine the hourly equivalent (weekly salary ÷ 40). Then calculate overtime at 1.5× that rate for all hours over 40. The calculation is the same as for hourly workers.
