About

On the worker's side.

A free, accurate overtime calculator. Built so an hourly worker can verify a paycheck in under a minute — and a small employer can stay compliant without buying payroll software.

Why this exists

Overtime pay is confusing. Federal law sets a minimum, but California requires daily overtime past 8 hours, Colorado past 12, Nevada conditional on wage, Alaska past 8 — and the math compounds. Most overtime calculators online either ignore state law or bury it. We put it front and center.
