## Overview

This calculator totals your weekly work hours from daily clock-in and clock-out times, subtracts breaks, and splits pay into regular and overtime buckets. Choose the FLSA federal rule (overtime after 40 hours a week), the California rule (overtime after 8 hours a day, double-time after 12), or no overtime at all to suit your situation.

## How to read your result

The headline figure is your gross weekly pay. The summary strip above shows total hours worked and total overtime hours alongside the pay figure. Below the inputs, a breakdown row lists regular time, overtime (1.5x), and double-time (2x) hours and their monetary values. The per-day segmented bar chart visualises each day's hours colour-coded as regular (solid teal), overtime (amber), or double-time (red) — a day where the bar is fully teal means no overtime was triggered that day. Under FLSA the overtime threshold is 40 hours per week: nothing in the per-day bars turns amber until the weekly running total crosses that line.

## Method

Worked minutes per day are calculated as the clock-out minus clock-in span (wrapping through midnight for overnight shifts) minus break minutes, floored at zero. Under the California regime each day is classified immediately: the first 480 minutes (8 hours) are regular, minutes 481 to 720 (hours 8 to 12) are 1.5x overtime, and any minutes beyond 720 (over 12 hours) are 2x double-time. Under FLSA (and for the weekly step of the California regime), all daily worked minutes are first treated as regular; once the weekly running total of regular minutes exceeds 2,400 (40 hours), the excess is reclassified as 1.5x overtime. Gross pay equals (regular minutes / 60 x wage) + (overtime minutes / 60 x wage x 1.5) + (double-time minutes / 60 x wage x 2). The overtime premium reported separately is only the extra-above-base portion: (overtime minutes / 60 x wage x 0.5) + (double-time minutes / 60 x wage x 1). Sources: US DOL Fact Sheet #23 (FLSA overtime, 40-hour threshold, 1.5x rate) and California DIR overtime FAQ (daily 8-hour and 12-hour thresholds, 2x double-time rate).

## Example

- **Setup:** Five weekdays, 09:00-18:00 with a 30-minute break each day, hourly rate 20, FLSA regime.
- **Result:** Each day yields 8 h 30 min worked (510 minutes). Total for the week: 42.5 hours. FLSA kicks in after 40 regular hours, so 40 hours are paid at the regular rate (800) and 2.5 hours at 1.5x (75). Gross weekly pay is 875, of which 25 is the overtime premium above straight time.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the FLSA 40-hour rule?

The Fair Labor Standards Act requires covered employers in the United States to pay non-exempt employees at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. The rule is weekly, not daily — working 10 hours on Monday does not by itself trigger FLSA overtime.

### How does California overtime differ from federal FLSA overtime?

California applies overtime on a daily basis: hours 8-12 in a single day earn 1.5x, and any hours beyond 12 in a day earn 2x (double-time). On top of that, the weekly rule still applies — straight-time hours beyond 40 in the week are upgraded to 1.5x overtime. This means a California worker who regularly puts in long single days can owe more overtime than the federal rule alone would produce.

### Does this calculator account for the seventh consecutive day rule?

Not currently. Under California law, the first 8 hours on a seventh consecutive day of the workweek are paid at 1.5x and hours beyond 8 at 2x. This calculator treats all seven days under the standard daily and weekly rules. If you regularly work a seven-day week in California, apply the California regime as a close approximation and note that the premium may be slightly understated.

### What counts as the regular rate for overtime purposes?

Under FLSA the regular rate includes most forms of remuneration — hourly wage, piece-rate, non-discretionary bonuses — divided by hours worked. This calculator uses a single hourly wage as the regular rate. If you receive bonuses or shift differentials, your actual overtime premium may be higher.

### Can I use this for salaried employees?

Salaried workers classified as exempt under FLSA (typically executive, administrative, or professional roles earning above the salary threshold) are not entitled to overtime pay. For non-exempt salaried employees, divide the weekly salary by the number of hours the salary is intended to cover to find the regular hourly rate, then enter that rate here.
