How it works

🧮

Built from standard formulas

Calculators use the same overtime formulas required by federal law and state regulations — no black box.

📖

Plain-English explanations

Every result comes with a clear breakdown of what affected your pay and why, not just a number.

State-aware guidance

State overtime rules differ. Our state pages explain local rules and flag where your state differs from federal law.

⚠️

Estimates only — not advice

Results are estimates for informational purposes. Always confirm with your employer or a qualified professional. See our methodology.
