Key takeaways
- Formulas: regular = rate × regular hours; OT = rate × multiplier × OT hours; total = sum of parts.
- Sample only: $20.00/hour, 40 + 10 OT at 1.5× → about $1,100.00 for the period ($300.00 OT).
- Not legal advice: Nestfigure does not decide who is overtime-eligible or what rate the law requires.
- Full assumptions: How the overtime calculator works
How the math works
You enter an hourly rate, regular hours, overtime hours, and a multiplier (often illustrated as 1.5). Optional double-time hours use a second multiplier (often illustrated as 2). Nestfigure multiplies—it does not look up your employer handbook.

How does this overtime calculator work?
It multiplies hours by your hourly rate and multipliers: regular pay = rate × regular hours; OT pay = rate × OT multiplier × OT hours; optional double-time the same way. Example sample only: $20.00/hour, 40 regular + 10 OT at 1.5× → total about $1,100.00 for that period. Not payroll software.
Does this decide if I am eligible for overtime under the law?
No. Nestfigure only multiplies the numbers you enter. Overtime eligibility and required rates depend on law and employer policy. This tool does not provide legal advice.
Can I prefill the overtime calculator from a link?
Yes. Parameters: hourly, regularHours, otHours, otMult, dtHours, dtMult, weeksPerYear. Example: hourly 20, regularHours 40, otHours 10, otMult 1.5.
Is this overtime calculator free?
Yes—free, no signup. Educational math only; not payroll, tax, or legal advice.
