How much is overtime pay for $25/hour?
At $25/hour regular rate: overtime rate = $37.50/hour (1.5x). Working 50 hours in a week: 40 regular hours = $1000. 10 overtime hours = $375. Total weekly pay = $1375 versus $1000 at straight time. Over a month of consistent 50-hour weeks you earn $5500 versus $4000 — a 37.5% increase in pay.
Am I eligible for overtime pay?
You are generally eligible (non-exempt) if you earn less than $58656 annually (2026 threshold) regardless of job title. Salaried employees above this threshold may be exempt if they perform executive administrative or professional duties. Misclassification of employees as exempt is one of the most common labor law violations — if you regularly work over 40 hours and are salaried below the threshold you may be owed back overtime.
Does overtime get taxed more?
Overtime income is not taxed at a higher rate but may be withheld at a higher rate because your employer assumes the higher weekly earnings represent your regular income. This results in a larger tax refund at filing. Your actual tax rate on overtime equals your marginal rate. A $2000 paycheck may be withheld at 22% while your actual rate is 12% — the excess comes back as a refund.
