Georgia 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 Tuesday versus Saturday does not change the federal math.
At $20/hour and 52 hours:
- Straight 40 × $20 = $800
- Overtime 12 × $30 = $360
- Week = $1,160
- Straight 52 × $20 would have been $1,040. The extra $120 is the time-and-a-half.
That is the live FLSA overtime calculator.
The same 52 hours as four 13-hour days in California pay $1,280, because Labor Code § 510 also looks at each day and pays double after 12. Georgia does not.
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 a Georgia income-tax rate.
Direct answer: $20 × 52 → $1,160
- Hours over 40 = 12
- Overtime rate = $20 × 1.5 = $30
- Regular pay = 40 × $20 = $800
- Overtime pay = 12 × $30 = $360
- Weekly total = $1,160
overtime hours = max(0, hours in the workweek − 40)
weekly total = (straight hours × rate) + (OT hours × 1.5 × rate)
Georgia vs California on the same 52 hours
| Rule | How the 52 hours sit | Week |
|---|---|---|
| Georgia / FLSA | Any 52 hours in one week | $1,160 |
| Straight time (no OT) | 52 × $20 | $1,040 |
| Four 13-hour days (CA daily OT + double) | 4 × 13 | $1,280 |
| California 2 × 14 + 3 × 8 | Two 14-hour days and three 8-hour days | $1,200 |
Four 13-hour days in California add 16 daily overtime hours and 4 double-time hours. That week is $1,280. Pack the same 52 hours into two 14-hour days plus three eights and California still adds double time after 12. That week is $1,200. Georgia still pays $1,160 either way.

What Georgia still is not
- A daily 8-hour trigger. Four 13-hour days are still 52 hours, so Georgia still pays the same $1,160. The extra twelve 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.
Salary vs hourly at a different rate: $25 × 50 hours → $1,375.
Not under the federal FLSA tool this site ships. Georgia does not overlay California's 8 / 12 / seventh-day statute. Confirm your contract and any local rule. This page is weekly-40 only.
Because 12 hours sit over 40. Those hours pay $30, not $20. 12 × $10 extra = $120.
California pays $1,280 at $20. Georgia still pays $1,160. The difference is the daily statute, not a tax.
