About This Calculator
The Illinois Overtime Calculator helps you determine your overtime compensation under the Illinois Department of Labor (IDOL) Minimum Wage and Overtime Law and the Federal Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Whether you are an hourly employee checking your paycheck or an employer calculating payroll, this tool provides accurate time-and-a-half pay calculations instantly.
Under Illinois law, non-exempt employees are entitled to overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 hours in a single workweek. This is commonly referred to as "time and a half" pay. The calculator computes your regular pay based on your standard hours, then applies the 1.5x multiplier to your overtime hours to determine total weekly earnings.
How Overtime Is Calculated in Illinois
The formula is: Regular Pay = Regular Hours × Hourly Rate and Overtime Pay = Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × 1.5. Your Total Pay is the sum of regular and overtime pay. For example, if you earn $25/hour, work 40 regular hours, and 10 overtime hours, your regular pay is $1,000, overtime pay is $375 (10 × $37.50), and total pay is $1,375.
Illinois overtime rules apply to most non-exempt workers. Since January 1, 2023, the overtime threshold remains 40 hours per workweek with no changes. Overtime worked on holidays or weekends still qualifies for time-and-a-half pay unless the employer agrees to a higher rate.
