Georgia Overtime Calculator — Weekly Pay & FLSA Overtime
Quickly calculate your total weekly pay including overtime under Georgia's labour rules. Georgia has no state overtime law, so the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) applies: any hours over 40 in a workweek must be paid at 1.5 times your regular rate.

How does this calculator work?
Georgia overtime follows the federal FLSA: hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5× the regular rate. Total weekly pay = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × 1.5). The 2025 federal minimum wage floor is $7.25/hr. This calculator is an estimate — verify deductions with your payroll provider.
Formula
How this is calculated
Georgia is one of many states that defer entirely to federal overtime law. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most employees who work more than 40 hours in a single workweek must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for each hour over 40. A "workweek" is any fixed, regularly recurring period of 168 consecutive hours (7 × 24 h) — it does not need to be a calendar week, and employers define it in advance. Hours cannot be averaged across two weeks to avoid overtime obligations.
Georgia's state minimum wage ($5.15/hr as of 2025) is below the federal floor of $7.25/hr, so the higher federal rate applies to all covered employees. Tipped workers have different base-rate rules under FLSA. Some employees — including executives, administrators, professionals, certain computer workers, and outside salespeople — are exempt from FLSA overtime if they earn above the salary threshold (currently $684/week as of the 2024 DOL rule). Independent contractors are not covered at all.
This calculator uses a single-workweek model: enter your regular hourly rate and total hours for the week. Overtime hours (hours over 40) are multiplied by the chosen overtime multiplier (1.5 by default). The result is gross pay before income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any other withholdings. State income tax rates and 2025 figures are editable estimates; verify with the Georgia Department of Labor for the latest rules.
Frequently asked questions
No. Georgia has no state-specific overtime statute. Employers must follow the federal FLSA, which mandates 1.5× pay for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some cities or counties may have local rules — check with the Georgia Department of Labor.
Most hourly employees and many salaried employees earning under the DOL salary threshold ($684/week in 2025) are covered. Executives, administrators, licensed professionals and outside salespeople meeting the FLSA duties test are exempt. Independent contractors and farm workers have separate rules.
No. Under FLSA, overtime is calculated per workweek, not bi-weekly. If you work 50 hours one week and 30 the next, you are entitled to 10 hours of overtime for the first week regardless of the bi-weekly average.
