How to calculate overtime from a time card
Add daily hours for the workweek, subtract unpaid meal or break time, then apply the rule profile. Federal and most state rules use weekly overtime after 40 hours. California, Colorado, Nevada, and Alaska can require daily overtime under specific conditions.
Weekly overtime hours formula
Total weekly hours = Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday
Weekly overtime hours = total weekly hours - 40
Overtime pay = overtime hours x regular rate x 1.5
State overtime differences
Use the state profiles for daily overtime rules. The MVP supports Federal/default, California, Colorado, Nevada, Alaska, and custom employer policy. For bonuses, commissions, or multiple rates, use the regular rate of pay calculator.
