The Fair Labor Standards Act sets a 40-hour workweek. Hours you work for the same employer over 40 in that workweek must be paid at not less than one and one-half times your regular rate.

This page is the federal weekly-40 rule only. It does not classify exempt employees, rebuild the regular rate from bonuses, or apply California daily overtime.

Federal overtime (one workweek)

overtime hours = max(0, hours in the workweek − 40)

overtime pay = overtime hours × (1.5 × hourly regular rate)

weekly total = regular hours × hourly rate + overtime pay

(The form hours × rate + 0.5 × rate × overtime hours is the same total.)

Example

$20/hour and 50 hours in the workweek: 10 overtime hours × $30 = $300 overtime. Straight time for 40 hours is $800. Weekly total $1,100.
