Overtime after taxes

Overtime pay can be valuable, but the net amount is lower than the headline gross pay because federal tax, FICA, and sometimes state tax apply.

The calculator estimates the incremental after-tax value of overtime by comparing your base annual pay with your pay after overtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is overtime taxed at a higher rate?

Overtime is taxed as ordinary wages. It may cause higher withholding in a paycheck, but the final annual tax uses normal income tax rules.

How is overtime pay calculated?

For most non-exempt workers, overtime is at least 1.5 times the regular hourly rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.

Does this include state tax?

It includes modeled state tax when you choose a supported state. Unsupported state details remain federal-only.
