How to calculate overtime hours?
Track all hours worked including time checking email after work weekend work and early arrivals. Subtract your standard weekly hours (40 in US) to find overtime. US law requires 1.5x pay for non-exempt employees working over 40 hours/week. If you regularly work 50 hours/week that is 10 overtime hours worth 15 regular hours in pay — a 37.5% income increase if properly compensated.
Am I working too many hours?
Research shows productivity peaks at 40-50 hours/week and declines sharply beyond 55 hours. Working 60+ hours consistently increases health risks (33% higher stroke risk) reduces cognitive performance and damages relationships. If your effective hourly rate drops below a reasonable threshold due to unpaid overtime consider negotiating boundaries requesting a raise or finding an employer that respects work-life balance.
