How to use it

  1. Enter your hourly rate and regular hours.
  2. Enter overtime hours and the multiplier (1.5 for time-and-a-half), plus any double-time hours.
  3. Turn on the qualified overtime deduction if your overtime is required under the FLSA.

How overtime pay is calculated

Under the federal FLSA, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states, such as California, also require daily overtime and double time. Overtime pay = hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours.

The qualified overtime deduction (2025–2028)

You may deduct the premium part of qualified FLSA overtime — the extra half in time-and-a-half — up to $12,500 ($25,000 joint), reduced above $150,000 of modified AGI ($300,000 joint). It lowers federal income tax only; Social Security, Medicare and most state taxes still apply.

Frequently asked questions

Is overtime taxed more than regular pay?

No. Overtime is taxed at the same rates as other wages. A larger check can be withheld at a higher rate for that period, but your annual tax depends on total income.

What is the “no tax on overtime” deduction?

For 2025–2028, federal law allows a deduction for the premium part of qualified FLSA overtime (the extra half in time-and-a-half), up to $12,500 or $25,000 for joint filers. Social Security, Medicare and most state taxes still apply.
