How It Works

Weekly Overtime Calculation

This calculator uses the federal FLSA weekly overtime rule: hours worked over 40 in a single workweek qualify for overtime pay at 1.5× (or higher in some states).

Enter your hourly rate and the hours you worked each day. The calculator automatically tracks your cumulative weekly hours and marks the exact moment overtime kicks in.

Example: If you work 8 hours Monday–Friday, that's 40 regular hours. If you add 4 hours on Saturday, those 4 hours become overtime hours paid at 1.5×. The calculator shows this day-by-day.

Note: Some states like California also enforce daily overtime rules (8+ hours/day triggers 1.5×, 12+ hours triggers 2×). Check your state's rules for accuracy.

Federal Overtime Rules

  • 40-hour weekly threshold
  • Minimum 1.5× rate over 40 hrs

The Method

Calculate Weekly Overtime

Step-by-step breakdown of how weekly overtime is calculated.

1

Add up all hours worked in the week

Sum the hours from all 7 days of your workweek (Sunday–Saturday, Monday–Sunday, or whatever your employer uses).

2

Identify overtime hours

Any hours beyond 40 count as overtime. If you worked 48 hours total, you have 40 regular hours and 8 OT hours.

3

Calculate pay by rate

Multiply regular hours by your base rate. Multiply OT hours by 1.5× your base rate. Add them together for gross weekly pay.

4

Track daily breakdown

Use this calculator to see exactly which hours each day count as regular vs. overtime, helping you verify your paycheck.

Questions

Weekly Overtime FAQ

A workweek is any seven consecutive calendar days designated by your employer. It commonly runs Sunday–Saturday or Monday–Friday, but can start on any day as long as it's consistently applied.
Yes. Federal law has no daily overtime minimum—only weekly. You could work 6, 7, or 10 hours per day and not trigger overtime unless your weekly total exceeds 40. Some states like California do require daily overtime.
Under federal law, Saturday and Sunday hours count the same as weekday hours toward the 40-hour threshold. If you work 5 hours on Saturday and are already at 40 hours for the week, those 5 hours trigger overtime pay at 1.5×.
