Example: $18 per hour with 6 overtime hours
Suppose you earn $18 per hour and work 40 regular hours, 6 overtime hours at 1.5x, and 2 double time hours at 2x. Regular pay is 40 x $18 = $720. Your overtime rate is $18 x 1.5 = $27, so overtime pay is 6 x $27 = $162. Double time is $36 per hour, so 2 hours pays $72. Total gross pay is $954.
The overtime pay formula
Overtime pay equals overtime hours times your hourly rate times the overtime multiplier. Time and a half uses a multiplier of 1.5 and double time uses 2. Total pay is regular pay plus overtime pay plus double time pay. Your overtime hourly rate is simply your regular rate times the multiplier.
