Time and a half of $60 an hour is
$90.00 an hour
Every overtime hour pays $90.00 instead of $60. Five overtime hours a week add $450 to the paycheck and $23,400 a year, before taxes.
Time and a half means 1.5× the regular rate: $60 × 1.5 = $90.00 per overtime hour. An 8-hour overtime shift pays $720 instead of $480.
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 $60/hour, and what double time pays where employers offer it.
The formula
$60 × 1.5 = $90.00 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.
Overtime rates for a $60/hour base wage
| Rate | Per hour | Per 8-hour shift |
|---|---|---|
| Regular | $60 | $480 |
| Time and a half (×1.5) | $90.00 | $720 |
| Double time (×2) | $120.00 | $960 |
Time and a half is the FLSA minimum for non-exempt employees past 40 hours a week; double time is contractual, not federal law.

Overtime eligibility gets murky at $60/hour
At $60 an hour (a $124,800 full-time year), many roles are classified exempt — salaried positions with duties tests that remove the overtime guarantee. If you are paid hourly, you generally remain non-exempt and keep the right to $90.00 past 40 hours; if you are offered a switch to salary, price the lost overtime before accepting.
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 $23,400 of overtime on a $124,800 base raises gross income to $148,200; the estimated federal take-home on that total is $112,561 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.
