Formula
**Overtime Pay Formula (US FLSA)**
Regular Hours = min(Total Hours, 40)
Overtime Hours = max(0, Total Hours − 40)
Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate
Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × 1.5
Total Pay = Regular Pay + Overtime Pay
Worked Example
**Example:** $22/hr, 52 hours
Regular: 40 × $22 = $880 | OT: 12 × $33 = $396
Total Pay = **$1,276** | Effective Rate = $1,276 ÷ 52 = **$24.54/hr**
