Florida Overtime Calculator 2026

For covered nonexempt employees in Florida, overtime is generally 1.5× the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. At the Florida minimum wage of $14.00/hour that is $21.00/hour. Enter your own hours above for a full breakdown.

No. Florida has no general daily overtime rule for most private-sector employees — overtime starts after 40 hours in a workweek, so a 12-hour day does not trigger it on its own. An employer policy or union contract can still promise daily overtime voluntarily.

At the Florida minimum wage of $14.00/hour the overtime rate is $21.00/hour. A 45-hour week at that wage comes to $560.00 regular plus $105.00 overtime — $665.00 gross.

In Florida, tipped employees may receive a direct cash wage of $10.98/hour, with the remaining $3.02/hour covered by tips (the tip credit). However, overtime must generally be calculated using the full minimum wage of $14.00/hour, not the lower cash rate. For example, if a tipped employee works 45 hours, their base overtime rate is 1.5× the full minimum wage ($21.00/hour), minus the tip credit ($3.02), resulting in a direct cash overtime rate of $17.98/hour for each of the 5 overtime hours worked that week.

Unpaid overtime claims in Florida go to Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) / U.S. Department of Labor (DOL), and a lawyer is generally not required. Bring timesheets and pay stubs. Federal claims can instead go to the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division.
