Texas 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 $22/hour and 45 hours:
- Straight 40 × $22 = $880
- Overtime 5 × $33 = $165
- Week = $1,045
- Straight 45 × $22 would have been $990. The extra $55 is the time-and-a-half.
That is the live FLSA overtime calculator.
The same 45 hours as three 15-hour days in California pay $1,320, because Labor Code § 510 also looks at each day and pays double after 12. Texas does not.
The Florida leftover used a different rate and week: $18 × 48 hours → $936. 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 Texas income-tax rate.
Direct answer: $22 × 45 → $1,045
- Hours over 40 = 5
- Overtime rate = $22 × 1.5 = $33
- Regular pay = 40 × $22 = $880
- Overtime pay = 5 × $33 = $165
- Weekly total = $1,045
overtime hours = max(0, hours in the workweek − 40)
weekly total = (straight hours × rate) + (OT hours × 1.5 × rate)
Texas vs California on the same 45 hours
| Rule | How the 45 hours sit | Week |
|---|---|---|
| Texas / FLSA | Any 45 hours in one week | $1,045 |
| Straight time (no OT) | 45 × $22 | $990 |
| Five 9-hour days (CA daily OT) | 5 × 9 | $1,045 |
| California 3 × 15 | Three 15-hour days | $1,320 |
Five 9-hour days in California match Texas here: 5 daily OT hours are the same 5 weekly OT hours. Pack the same 45 hours into three 15-hour days and California adds daily 1.5× plus double time after 12. That week is $1,320. Run it on the California overtime calculator.
What Texas still is not
- A daily 8-hour trigger. Five 9-hour days are still 45 hours, so Texas still pays the same $1,045. The extra five 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. Texas does not overlay California's 8 / 12 / seventh-day statute. Confirm your contract and any local rule. This page is weekly-40 only.
Because 5 hours sit over 40. Those hours pay $33, not $22. 5 × $11 extra = $55.
California pays $1,320 at $22. Texas still pays $1,045. The difference is the daily statute plus double time after 12, not a tax.
