Overtime Pay Calculator

Check one week of pay against your state's overtime rules, with the math, rule triggers, and source links in one place.

Best use case

Use it for a fast payroll spot check

TimeHalf is strongest when you have one workweek, one worker, and you need to know whether the overtime math looks right before you escalate it.

Escalate sooner

Bring in payroll when the week is messy

If the pay period includes bonuses, blended rates, break penalties, union terms, or exemption questions, use the calculator to frame the issue, then verify the result with payroll or counsel.

What to keep

Save the evidence while it is fresh

Keep the timesheet, the pay stub, the state rule citation, and any notes about bonuses or adjustments. That makes the evidence packet and payroll handoff far more useful.

Payroll review checklist

If you are checking a real paycheck, run this order

  1. 1. Start with the weekly calculation. Confirm the state, hourly rate, and each day worked before you interpret any shortfall.
  2. 2. Reconcile what payroll actually paid. Split straight time, overtime premium, bonuses, and adjustments so the gap is readable.
  3. 3. Export the packet before you argue the case. A clean breakdown with citations tends to move faster than a screenshot and a complaint.
