Frequently asked questions
How does California daily overtime work?
In California, you generally earn 1.5× pay after 8 hours in a day and 2× after 12 hours, plus weekly overtime after 40 hours. On the 7th consecutive day you earn 1.5× for the first 8 hours and 2× after that. These are summaries based on public regulation "as of" the date shown — verify with the California Labor Commissioner's Office.
How do I calculate overtime on a time card?
Overtime is usually 1.5× your rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (federal FLSA). Some states also pay daily overtime — for example, California pays 1.5× after 8 hours in a day and 2× after 12. This tool applies both daily and weekly thresholds and shows you the larger of the two.
Is this calculator accurate? Is it legal or tax advice?
Results are estimates for reference only. We aim for FLSA- and state-rule accuracy, but we do not guarantee the figure is correct for your situation, and this is not tax, legal, or employment advice. Always confirm with your employer's payroll and your state labor law.
