This calculation answers how much gross pay is due when a covered nonexempt employee works more than 40 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek. In Chrome, you can keep the source timesheet or payroll export open in one tab and the calculation page in another, then print or save the result as a PDF for review notes.
The federal baseline is weekly, not daily. Under the FLSA, covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a workweek at not less than 1.5 times the employee's regular rate. More protective state rules, contracts, or policies can require a greater benefit, so the federal result is the floor, not always the final answer.
Start with the fixed workweek: a regularly recurring 168-hour period made of seven consecutive 24-hour periods. Each FLSA workweek stands alone, so you do not average 35 hours in one week with 45 hours in the next week to erase overtime. Use actual hours worked in that workweek, not scheduled hours or paid leave that was not worked.
The regular rate is total compensation for the workweek, excluding statutory exclusions, divided by total hours actually worked in that workweek. For a simple hourly employee with one rate and no includable bonuses or differentials, the regular rate is the hourly rate. If the employee has multiple rates, shift differentials, or includable bonuses, calculate the regular rate before applying the overtime premium.
Example: a covered nonexempt employee works 46 hours in one fixed FLSA workweek at a $27.20 regular rate. The first 40 hours are paid at straight time: 40 × $27.20 = $1,088.00. The 6 overtime hours are paid at 1.5×: $27.20 × 1.5 = $40.80 per overtime hour.
The overtime portion is 6 × $40.80 = $244.80, so gross pay for the week is $1,088.00 + $244.80 = $1,332.80. Do not add a federal premium merely because hours fell on Saturday, Sunday, a holiday, or a regular day of rest. Under the federal baseline, the trigger is hours over 40 in the workweek unless another applicable law, policy, contract, or agreement provides more.
A one-off calculation is enough when you are checking one week, one regular rate, and one employee against the federal baseline. It is also enough for a quick Chrome-based review before entering a payroll adjustment. Save the inputs with the result so the reviewer can see the workweek, hours worked, regular rate, overtime hours, and multiplier used.
A managed workflow becomes necessary when overtime repeats across projects, departments, or schedules. Everhour Resource Planning gives managers visual timelines, member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, scheduled time off, and planned-vs-actual comparisons. That helps prevent avoidable overload before the payroll calculation becomes a recurring cleanup task.

No. Chrome does not change the federal overtime math. For the United States federal baseline, covered nonexempt employees receive at least 1.5 times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a fixed FLSA workweek. Chrome only affects the workflow: tabs, autofill, print settings, saved shortcuts, and PDF saving.
Use hours actually worked in the fixed FLSA workweek. Paid vacation, holidays, or other time not worked are not required by the FLSA and generally come from employer policy, contract, representative agreement, or state law. If a policy treats paid leave in a particular way, apply that policy separately from the federal hours-worked calculation.
No. Each FLSA workweek stands alone for covered nonexempt employees. An employer cannot average 38 hours in one workweek with 46 hours in the next workweek to avoid paying overtime for the 6 hours over 40 in the second week. Use the fixed 168-hour workweek that applies to the employee.
No. The FLSA does not require overtime pay merely because work occurs on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, or regular days of rest. Under the federal baseline, overtime turns on hours worked over 40 in the workweek. A state rule, employer policy, contract, or union agreement can create a separate premium.
The most common mistake is using the base hourly rate when the regular rate should include other includable compensation for the workweek. The FLSA regular rate is total compensation for the workweek, excluding statutory exclusions, divided by total hours actually worked. That figure drives the 1.5× overtime rate.
Everhour Resource Planning shows work on visual timelines with member and project views, weekly capacity, availability gaps, scheduled time off, and planned-vs-actual time comparisons. Managers can spot overloaded weeks before hours exceed the plan and before overtime turns into a payroll review issue.
Use the calculation for the weekly check, then manage recurring overtime earlier. Everhour Resource Planning connects schedules, capacity, availability, and actual time so teams can reduce avoidable overtime surprises.
