Time and a Half for $15 an Hour

Twenty-two fifty is 15 plus 7.50, once

Split $15 into the straight-time piece and the half. The half is $7.50. Add them and the overtime hour is $22.50. The addition is a way to see the pieces. It is not a second step you perform after paying $22.50. Ten overtime hours, the example on the button, are $225. Straight time for those ten hours would be $150. The premium inside the $225 is $75. If a handwritten note says “time and a half is $7.50,” that note is naming only the extra half, not the wage for the hour.

A full week is the other common question at this wage. Forty-two hours at $15 is $600 for the first forty and $45 for the two overtime hours, gross $645. Put 42 into the overtime calculator if that is the shape of the timesheet. Keep the hours on this page when they are already past the weekly line. The same component with an empty rate is the time and a half calculator, which is the page to use when the wage is not $15, $18, $20, or $25.

Minutes at a $22.50 overtime rate

Six minutes is 0.10 hours. At $22.50 that tenth is $2.25. Fifteen minutes is 0.25 hours and $5.625, which rounds to $5.63 when money is shown to the cent. The hours on this form can be a decimal or a clock time such as 2:15. Build the decimal first on the hours to decimal calculator when the timesheet has several lines, because each line should be added before it is rounded for pay. The quarter-hour lookup is the hours to decimal chart.

This estimate does not subtract taxes, and it does not import a state daily-overtime table. A higher rate with its own page is time and a half for 20 an hour. The workweek rule those overtime hours usually come from is overtime after 40 hours. If the check covers two weeks, total each workweek before you treat any of it as time and a half. The biweekly overtime calculator does that split.
