Estimates only. Confirm overtime rules against your state law, union agreement, or payroll provider before paying on them.
What counts as worked hours
Enter paid working time only. Unpaid breaks come out before the hours go in, and travel paid at straight time is normally excluded from the overtime threshold. If you need breaks and drive time handled for you, the full timesheet calculator does that from start and end times.
How is overtime calculated after 8 hours a day?
Each day stands on its own. Hours past 8 in a single day are overtime, even when the week totals less than 40. Because the split depends on how hours fall across individual days, a single weekly total cannot be used with this rule.
How is overtime calculated after 40 hours a week?
All worked hours in the week are added together. Everything past 40 is overtime, however the days fall — so a weekly total on its own is enough to calculate it.
What multiplier should I use?
Time and a half (1.5x) is the common federal default. Some agreements use 2x for Sundays, holidays, or hours past a second daily threshold. Enter whatever your agreement calls for.
