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.
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.
