Planning Estimate Disclaimer: Overtime and gross pay values are configurable mathematical estimates. State, provincial, and national labor standards (such as US FLSA, California Daily Overtime, or Canadian provincial rules) vary based on industry classification, collective bargaining agreements, and exemption status. Consult an authorized payroll professional or labor attorney for official payroll compensation.

Calculated across 6 working days.
Overtime Calculation Example

Worked Example: 46 Hours Worked with 1.5x Overtime Pay

Suppose an employee works 46 total hours during a standard Monday through Saturday weekly schedule at a regular pay rate of $25.00/hour with a standard 40-hour overtime threshold:

Regular Hours
40.00 hrs
40.00 hrs × $25.00/hr = $1,000.00
Overtime Hours
6.00 hrs
6.00 hrs × $37.50/hr (1.5x) = $225.00
Total Gross Pay
$1,225.00
46.00 total decimal hours

Formula breakdown: The first 40 hours are classified as Regular Straight-Time ($1,000.00). The remaining 6 hours exceed the 40-hour threshold, earning the 1.5x time-and-a-half premium ($37.50/hr), providing an additional $225.00 for a grand gross total of $1,225.00.

How Weekly Timesheets and Overtime Are Calculated

How to Use the Weekly Timesheet

  1. Set Pay Rate & Overtime Threshold: Input your regular hourly wage and your region's overtime threshold (typically 40 hours per week).
  2. Enter Daily Shift Times: For each day from Monday to Sunday, enter clock-in, clock-out, and unpaid lunch break durations.
  3. Check California Daily Overtime: If you work in California, Alaska, or Nevada where daily hours exceeding 8 in a single day trigger overtime, toggle the California Rule.
  4. Review Payroll Breakdown: View regular hours, overtime hours, and estimated gross earnings.

Standard Overtime Formula

Regular Hours = Min(Total Weekly Hours, 40)
Overtime Hours = Max(0, Total Weekly Hours - 40)
Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Base Rate
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × (Base Rate × 1.5)
Total Gross Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay

Calculations are rounded strictly to two decimal places on final totals to avoid recurring roundoff discrepancies.

Important Planning Estimate Notice:

Overtime rules vary by jurisdiction, collective bargaining contract, and employee FLSA exemption status (e.g. exempt executive/professional vs. non-exempt hourly workers). This calculator provides customizable estimates for scheduling and budgeting, and does not constitute formal legal, tax, or payroll counsel.

Under standard federal rules, all hours worked up to 40 hours in a 7-day work week are regular hours. Any hours worked above 40 are overtime hours and paid at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. For example, 46 hours worked at $20/hr yields 40 regular hours ($800) and 6 overtime hours ($180), totaling $980.
