Disclaimer

OTPayUS is an educational overtime pay calculator. It is not legal advice, tax advice, payroll advice, or a determination of employee status.

No attorney-client relationship

Using the calculator or reading these pages does not create an attorney-client, fiduciary, or payroll-service relationship. Do not rely on this site as the sole basis for paying wages, filing a claim, or classifying a job.

Estimates only

Results assume the hourly rate and hours you type. They do not compute a legal regular rate, apply every state wage order, include paid rest periods, or decide whether you are exempt. Optional net pay is a single percentage of gross — not withholding from a W-4, not FICA, and not a paycheck.

Check the official sources

Confirm overtime with your employer’s time records and with:

U.S. Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division — 1-866-4-US-WAGE
State labor department directory
California DIR / DLSE overtime FAQ
