Time and a half of $22 an hour is
$33.00 an hour
Every overtime hour pays $33.00 instead of $22. Five overtime hours a week add $165 to the paycheck and $8,580 a year, before taxes.
Time and a half means 1.5× the regular rate: $22 × 1.5 = $33.00 per overtime hour. An 8-hour overtime shift pays $264 instead of $176.
Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees earn this rate for every hour past 40 in a workweek. The tables below show what steady overtime adds per week and per year at $22/hour, and what double time pays where employers offer it.
The formula
$22 × 1.5 = $33.00 per overtime hour
Time and a half multiplies the regular hourly rate by 1.5. Use the calculator to change the overtime hours per week or the number of weeks and see the yearly impact.

| Regular | $22 | $176 |
| Time and a half (×1.5) | $33.00 | $264 |

Time and a half is the FLSA minimum for non-exempt employees past 40 hours a week; double time is contractual, not federal law.

Who gets time and a half at $22/hour?
Hourly jobs at this level are usually non-exempt under the FLSA, which guarantees at least $33.00 per hour past 40 hours in a workweek. The federal law counts hours per week, not per day — although some states (California most prominently) also require daily overtime past 8 hours.
Overtime is often the fastest raise available: five hours a week at $33.00 adds $8,580 a year gross, the same as a 18.8% pay rise without changing jobs.
Overtime taxes: the myth and the math
Overtime is taxed at the same rates as regular pay — a bigger paycheck may be withheld more aggressively, but the actual tax follows the year's total income. Working $8,580 of overtime on a $45,760 base raises gross income to $54,340; the estimated federal take-home on that total is $45,842 for a single filer.
Assumptions behind these numbers
- Time and a half applies after 40 hours in a workweek for FLSA non-exempt employees; state rules can be more generous.
- Yearly overtime figures assume the same overtime hours in each of the 52 weeks; real schedules vary.
- Any after-tax figures are federal-only estimates for a single filer taking the 2026 standard deduction — not tax or legal advice.
