## How is standard weekly overtime pay calculated?

For covered, nonexempt hourly work under this federal method, hours above 40 in a workweek receive 1.5× the regular rate. At one hourly rate, gross pay equals all worked hours × rate, plus overtime hours × rate × 0.5.

 **Synthetic example:**  45 hours at $24 gives $1,080 straight time plus $60 additional premium, or $1,140 gross. A two-week paycheck still requires two separate weekly calculations. Gross is not take-home pay.

Basis: [DOL Fact Sheet 23](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/fact-sheets/23-flsa-overtime-pay). [Use the weighted method for multiple rates.](https://payinview.com/us/weighted-overtime-calculator) [See the biweekly example.](https://payinview.com/us/guides/biweekly-overtime)
