How to use it

  1. Enter hours worked on each day of your workweek.
  2. Enter your hourly rate.
  3. See daily and weekly overtime, and how much more you earn than under federal rules alone.

The formula

Each day: first 8 hours regular, the rest at 1.5×

Week: regular hours over 40 also become 1.5× (no double counting)

Example: Four 10-hour days at $20/hour: 32 regular hours and 8 overtime hours, $640 + $240 = $880. Federal rules alone would pay $800.
