Weekly Overtime Calculator
Seven daily rows, one week total, then the regular and overtime split. Blank days count as zero after you enter the first shift. The rate is optional, so you can see the hours before you price them.
Estimate for personal reference only. Not tax, legal, or employment advice. Overtime defaults follow a federal FLSA-style workweek, usually 1.5× after 40 hours. State and city rules may differ.
Add the days, then split the week
Each row accepts a decimal such as 9, or a clock time such as 8:30. The row shows the decimal it understood. The week total adds those exact decimals, including the fractional minutes, and only the display is rounded. Regular hours are the total up to the threshold. Overtime hours are the rest. The threshold starts at 40 and the multiplier starts at 1.5, which is the same federal-style default as the overtime calculator.
Monday through Friday at 9 hours is the built-in example: 45.00 hours in the week, 40.00 regular, 5.00 overtime. With a $20 rate, regular pay is $800, overtime pay is $150, and gross pay is $950. Leave the rate blank and the same card still shows the hour split. Sunday and Saturday are labels, not a legal start day. A federal workweek can begin on any weekday. Put the seven days of that workweek in the seven rows, in order, and ignore the printed names if your week starts on Wednesday.
Daily overtime is not applied for you
A day of 10 hours does not, by itself, create overtime on this weekly overtime calculator. The FLSA pattern is weekly. If you are modeling a state daily rule, this form will not do it. You can still type the hours you have decided are overtime into the time and a half calculator, or set a different threshold here if you are deliberately changing the weekly line. Double time is not a third band on this card. Price a pure double-time block on the double time calculator, or turn the second threshold on in the overtime calculator when one week contains all three rates.
Clock times and rounding
8:30 in a row is 8.50 decimal hours, not 8.30. Five days of 8:30 are 42.50 hours: 40 regular and 2.50 overtime. If you only have minutes, convert them on the minutes to decimal hours page or on the hours to decimal calculator, then paste the decimal. Adding the week in minutes and dividing once by 60 is the cleanest version of the same math. Rounding each day to two decimals and then adding can drift. This card adds first.
Gross pay, when you type a rate, is not take-home pay. The how to calculate overtime page walks the same $950 example as a procedure, and FLSA overtime points at the Department of Labor for the federal rule this default copies. It does not decide exemption or a state daily rule.
Frequently asked questions
How does a 7-day card become overtime?
Each day is converted to decimal hours and added. Hours up to the threshold (40 by default) are regular. Hours above it are overtime. Five 9-hour days are 45 hours: 40 regular and 5 overtime.
Does the day name matter?
No. Sunday through Saturday is only a label for seven rows. A federal workweek is seven consecutive days, and your employer can start it on any weekday. Put the seven days of that workweek in the rows.
What if one day is 8:30?
Type 8:30 or 8.5 in that row. The week total uses the exact decimal, then the overtime split uses the sum.
