About This Calculator
The Florida Overtime Calculator helps employees and employers determine overtime pay in compliance with the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which Florida follows. Whether you are an hourly worker calculating your weekly earnings or an employer estimating payroll costs, this calculator provides accurate overtime computations instantly.
Under FLSA rules, non-exempt employees must receive overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. The calculator uses this standard formula: regular pay equals regular hours multiplied by the hourly rate, while overtime pay equals overtime hours multiplied by the hourly rate times the overtime multiplier (default 1.5). Total pay is the sum of both.
Florida's minimum wage as of 2025 is $12.00 per hour, meaning the minimum overtime rate is $18.00 per hour. Employers subject to FLSA must pay the higher of federal or state minimum wage when computing overtime. Independent contractors, certain commissioned sales employees, and salaried executive/administrative/professional workers earning at least $684 per week may be exempt from overtime requirements.
Regional Notes — United States
This calculator is specific to Florida, United States. Florida does not have its own state overtime law — it follows the federal FLSA standard of 40-hour workweek with time-and-a-half pay. Unlike California or New York, Florida has no daily overtime requirement and no double-time mandate. The at-will employment nature of Florida means employers can require overtime as long as the premium rate is paid.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the overtime rate in Florida?
Florida follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which requires overtime pay at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Florida does not have its own state overtime law, so the federal standard applies.
How is overtime calculated in Florida?
Overtime in Florida is calculated by multiplying the number of overtime hours worked by 1.5 times the employee's regular hourly rate. For example, if your regular rate is $20/hour and you work 10 overtime hours, you earn $20 x 1.5 x 10 = $300 in overtime pay.
Who is exempt from overtime in Florida?
Exempt employees in Florida include executive, administrative, and professional workers earning at least $684 per week ($35,568 annually) whose primary duties involve management or discretion. Outside sales employees, certain computer professionals, and independent contractors are also exempt.
Does Florida have a daily overtime law?
No, Florida does not have a daily overtime law. Overtime is calculated on a weekly basis under FLSA — only hours exceeding 40 in a single workweek count as overtime, regardless of how many hours are worked in a single day.
Can Florida employers require mandatory overtime?
Yes, Florida employers can require mandatory overtime for non-exempt employees as long as they are paid the legally required overtime rate of 1.5 times their regular pay. Florida is an at-will employment state, and no state law limits mandatory overtime hours.
What is the minimum wage in Florida for overtime calculations?
As of 2025, Florida's minimum wage is $12.00 per hour, with scheduled increases. The overtime rate for minimum wage workers is $18.00 per hour (1.5x). Employers must use the higher of federal ($7.25) or state ($12.00) minimum wage for overtime calculations.
Is double time required in Florida?
No, Florida law does not require double-time pay. The standard overtime rate is time-and-a-half (1.5x) under FLSA. Some employers may voluntarily offer double-time for holidays or excessive hours, but it is not legally mandated.
How do I calculate overtime for salaried non-exempt employees in Florida?
For salaried non-exempt employees, convert the salary to an hourly rate by dividing the weekly salary by 40 hours. Then apply the 1.5x multiplier to overtime hours. For example, a $800/week salary equals $20/hour regular rate, and overtime is paid at $30/hour for hours over 40.
