How to Calculate Overtime Pay – Formula and Examples

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): Multiply your regular hourly rate by the premium and by the overtime hours. For time and a half: rate × 1.5 × hours. At $20 an hour, 6 overtime hours pay 20 × 1.5 × 6 = $180, on top of your regular pay for the first 40 hours. If you are paid a salary, first turn it into an hourly rate: annual salary ÷ 2,080 for a 40-hour week.
