About Time and a Half
Time-and-a-half is a common overtime premium that pays 1.5× the regular hourly rate for eligible hours worked beyond a threshold (e.g., beyond 40 hours/week in some jurisdictions). Policies vary by country, state, industry, and union contracts. This calculator lets you input your hourly rate, the number of overtime hours, and a multiplier to quickly estimate total overtime pay. Because labor laws and company policies differ, use this as a planning aid and confirm rules with HR or local regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1.5× always required?
