A Missouri overtime calculation answers one practical question: how much extra pay is owed when a covered nonexempt employee works beyond the applicable weekly threshold. For most covered nonexempt employees, Missouri requires at least one and one-half times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. The Missouri Division of Labor Standards handles Missouri wage complaints and minimum wage and overtime compliance information.
The answer changes when the worker is excluded from Missouri overtime, covered by a special threshold, or subject to a federal alternative formula. Missouri has no general daily overtime rule and no separate state double-time threshold. That means a 10-hour day does not automatically create Missouri overtime unless the total workweek crosses the applicable threshold or a qualifying health care 8/80 system applies.
For a standard hourly case, split the workweek into regular hours and overtime hours. Pay the first 40 hours at the regular hourly rate, then pay hours over 40 at 1.5 times that rate. Missouri's 2026 minimum wage is $15.00 per hour, effective January 1, 2026, so the minimum overtime floor for that rate is $22.50 per hour.
Example: a covered nonexempt Missouri employee works 49 hours in one fixed workweek at a $27.20 regular hourly rate. Regular pay is 40 hours × $27.20 = $1,088.00. Overtime hours are 9, and the overtime rate is $27.20 × 1.5 = $40.80. Overtime pay is 9 × $40.80 = $367.20, for total gross pay of $1,455.20 before taxes, deductions, or other payroll adjustments.
Missouri overtime is not only a 40-hour test. Employees of an amusement or recreation business meeting 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(3) must receive one and one-half times regular compensation for hours worked over 52 in a one-week period. Hospitals and residential care establishments may use a fixed 14-day 8/80 overtime system with a prior agreement, paying time and one-half for hours over 8 in a day and over 80 in the 14-day period.
The common mistake is applying the general Missouri rule to every workplace without checking coverage first. Missouri excludes individuals employed by retail or service businesses under $500,000 annual gross volume and makes the state law inapplicable to listed agriculture cases, but federal FLSA coverage may still apply. Missouri also incorporates federal overtime exemptions, so category-specific duties and salary tests matter before any overtime number is final.
A calculator is enough when you need a one-time estimate for one employee, one workweek, and one regular hourly rate. Use it to check whether a payroll total makes sense after a long week, missed lunch entry, or manager correction. Keep the workweek fixed because the FLSA workweek is 168 hours: seven consecutive 24-hour periods.
A managed workflow is better when multiple people submit hours, managers approve time, or payroll needs a reliable handoff. Everhour timecards record hours at work each day and support daily, weekly, and monthly work-hour totals, project-vs-working-hour comparisons, timecard approval, Team Hours reporting, and PDF, CSV, and XLSX exports.

Missouri's general overtime rule begins after more than 40 hours in a workweek, not after more than 8 hours in a workday. There is no separate state double-time threshold. A federal alternative formula can apply in limited settings, such as a qualifying hospital or residential care 8/80 system with a prior agreement.
Missouri's minimum wage is $15.00 per hour for 2026, effective January 1, 2026. For an employee paid that minimum wage, time and one-half creates a minimum overtime wage of $22.50 per hour. Tipped employees must receive total compensation of at least the Missouri minimum wage, with the same stated $22.50 total overtime floor for hours over 40.
No. Under the FLSA baseline used for overtime calculations, each workweek stands alone, and hours may not be averaged over two or more workweeks to avoid overtime. A 35-hour week followed by a 45-hour week still creates 5 overtime hours in the second week for a covered nonexempt employee.
Use the regular rate, not just the lower or default job rate. Under the FLSA framework used for Missouri overtime, the regular rate includes all remuneration except statutory exclusions, and multiple straight-time rates in one workweek are combined as a weighted average. Divide total includable pay by total hours worked, then apply the 1.5x overtime premium.
No. Employees of an amusement or recreation business meeting 29 U.S.C. 213(a)(3) must receive one and one-half times regular compensation for hours worked over 52 in a one-week period. That special threshold is different from the general Missouri overtime rule, so confirm the worker category before using a 40-hour calculation.
Everhour timecards record hours at work each day so managers can review payroll hours before overtime is calculated. Admins can review daily, weekly, and monthly work-hour totals, approve weekly timecards, and download team timesheet data for payroll or archive workflows.
Everhour Reporting can surface overtime and double-overtime data in Team Hours and configurable reports when overtime tracking is enabled. Admins can group, filter, and export reports in CSV, Excel/XLSX, or PDF for payroll checks, internal review, or archive records.
Use approved timecards before payroll totals are finalized. Everhour timecards support daily, weekly, and monthly work-hour totals, timecard approval, and payroll-ready exports.
