New York Overtime Calculator — NY OT Pay (FLSA)
Calculate your New York overtime pay. NY follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): any hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek must be paid at 1.5 times (time and a half) your regular hourly rate.

How does this calculator work?
NY overtime = regular rate × 1.5 for every hour above 40 per workweek, following the federal FLSA. Total weekly pay = (rate × 40) + (rate × 1.5 × overtime hours). Enter your hourly rate and total hours worked to see regular pay, overtime pay, effective rate, and an annual estimate.
Formula
How this is calculated
New York State does not set a higher overtime multiplier than federal law — it follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which requires employers to pay at least 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for each hour worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. The workweek is a fixed, recurring 168-hour period (7 consecutive 24-hour days) defined by the employer and need not align with the calendar week.
This calculator splits your total hours into a regular portion (up to 40 hours) and an overtime portion (anything above 40). Regular pay is simply rate × hours; overtime pay applies the 1.5× multiplier to the excess hours. The effective hourly rate shows what your blended rate works out to across all hours worked, which is useful for comparing offers. The annual estimate scales the weekly total by your chosen pay frequency.
Note that salaried employees classified as "exempt" under FLSA (executive, administrative, or professional employees earning above the federal salary threshold) are generally not entitled to overtime pay. Some NY industries — hotel and building service workers, certain hospitality employees — have additional rules that may differ from the standard FLSA baseline.
Frequently asked questions
New York follows the federal FLSA rule: 1.5 times (time and a half) the regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. There is no higher NY-specific multiplier for most workers, though some collective bargaining agreements provide double time or other premium rates.
No — New York generally applies overtime on a weekly basis (over 40 hours per week), not a daily basis. Some states such as California require overtime after 8 hours in a day, but NY does not unless specified in a union contract or industry-specific regulation.
It depends on the salary level and job duties. Salaried employees earning below the FLSA salary threshold ($684/week as of 2024) and in non-exempt roles must receive overtime. Employees in "exempt" executive, administrative, or professional roles earning above the threshold are not entitled to FLSA overtime.
