Find your time-and-a-half rate and total pay for a week with overtime.
Time and a half is your regular hourly rate × 1.5. At $20 an hour, time and a half is $30 an hour, so 6 overtime hours pay $180. Under federal law it applies to hours over 40 in a workweek.
Under federal law, time and a half is owed for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states also require it daily. Use the California overtime calculator for California's daily rules.
Time-and-a-half rate = regular hourly rate × 1.5. Multiply that rate by your overtime hours to get overtime pay.
Example: you earn $20 an hour and work 46 hours in a week. The first 40 hours pay $20 × 40 = $800. The 6 overtime hours pay $30 × 6 = $180. Total gross pay is $980.
The "overtime premium" is the extra half: $10 × 6 = $60 in the example. That premium is the part that counts for the federal No Tax on Overtime deduction.
