Time and a half for $20 per hour is $30 per hour because $20 × 1.5 = $30.
Time and a half for $15 per hour is $22.50 per hour: $15 × 1.5 = $22.50. The extra over your regular rate is $7.50 an hour. The chart above lists common wages.
It is the hourly rate plus half of it again. At $18 an hour, 1.5 times is $18 + $9 = $27 an hour.
Not under federal law, unless the holiday hours push the week over 40 hours. Holiday premiums come from employer policy, a union contract or, in some places, state or local law.
Turn the salary into an hourly regular rate first — weekly salary divided by the hours it covers — then multiply by 1.5. The salary overtime calculator does both steps for workers who are owed overtime.
Multiply the regular hourly rate by 1.5. Multiply that result by the number of hours paid at the premium rate to get total pay for those hours.
Time and a half is a pay rate. Overtime describes hours that qualify for a premium; the applicable premium is often 1.5× but can vary.
Under the general federal rule, covered nonexempt workers get at least 1.5× for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states, such as California, also pay it after 8 hours in a day. Weekends and holidays are not automatically time and a half.
At $20 per hour, the full time-and-a-half rate is $30. The extra premium portion alone is $10 per overtime hour — that is the part the federal overtime tax deduction applies to.
The calculator does not decide eligibility. Check the workweek, worker classification, state rules and any union or employer agreement.
