Arizona does not add a daily overtime statute on top of the Fair Labor Standards Act. For a non-exempt hourly job, overtime starts after 40 hours in one workweek. How those hours sat on Monday versus Thursday does not change the federal math.
At $21/hour and 43 hours:
- Straight 40 × $21 = $840
- Overtime 3 × $31.50 = $94.50
- Week = $934.50
- Straight 43 × $21 would have been $903. The extra $31.50 is the time-and-a-half.
That is the live FLSA overtime calculator.
The same 43 hours as four 10-hour days plus 3 in California pay $987, because Labor Code § 510 also looks at each day. Arizona does not.
The Florida leftover used a different rate and week: $18 × 48 hours → $936. Texas leftover: $22 × 45 hours → $1,045. Nevada leftover: $16 × 44 hours → $736. Same statute. Different stub.

Both overtime tools stop at weekly gross. They do not withhold FIT or FICA. Overtime dollars are still wages. Employee FICA (6.2% up to the $184,500 2026 Social Security wage base, plus 1.45% Medicare) applies the same way as on straight time (Topic 751). This page does not invent an Arizona income-tax rate.
Direct answer: $21 × 43 → $934.50
- Hours over 40 = 3
- Overtime rate = $21 × 1.5 = $31.50
- Regular pay = 40 × $21 = $840
- Overtime pay = 3 × $31.50 = $94.50
- Weekly total = $934.50
overtime hours = max(0, hours in the workweek − 40)
weekly total = (straight hours × rate) + (OT hours × 1.5 × rate)
Arizona vs California on the same 43 hours
| Rule | How the 43 hours sit | Week |
|---|---|---|
| Arizona / FLSA | Any 43 hours in one week | $934.50 |
| Straight time (no OT) | 43 × $21 | $903 |
| Four 10-hour days plus 3 (CA daily OT) | 4 × 10 + 3 | $987 |
| Three 11-hour days plus 10 (CA daily OT) | 3 × 11 + 10 | $1,018.50 |
| California 2 × 14 + 8 + 7 | Two 14-hour days, then 8 and 7 | $1,071 |
Four 10-hour days plus a 3-hour day in California add 8 daily overtime hours (2 per 10-hour day). That week is $987. Pack the same 43 hours into two 14-hour days plus 8 and 7 and California adds double time after 12. That week is $1,071. Arizona still pays $934.50 either way.

What Arizona still is not
- A daily 8-hour trigger. Four 10-hour days plus 3 are still 43 hours, so Arizona still pays the same $934.50. The extra three hours are weekly, not daily.
- A salaried exemption test. Being paid a salary does not by itself turn overtime off. That is a classification question, not this engine.
- Two jobs added together. Each employer counts only its own hours.
- An Arizona withholding page. Arizona has state income tax. This tool does not price it.
Salary vs hourly at a different rate: $25 × 50 hours → $1,375.
Not under the federal FLSA tool this site ships. Arizona does not overlay California's 8 / 12 / seventh-day statute. Confirm your contract and any local rule. This page is weekly-40 only.
Because 3 hours sit over 40. Those hours pay $31.50, not $21. 3 × $10.50 extra = $31.50.
California pays $987 at $21. Arizona still pays $934.50. The difference is the daily statute, not a tax.
