Overtime rules in 2026
Federal law requires 1.5 times the regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek for non-exempt employees. These states add daily overtime:
| State | Rule |
|---|---|
| Alaska | Alaska pays 1.5× after 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week. It applies to employers with 4 or more employees, unless there is an approved flexible work plan. |
| California | California pays 1.5× after 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week, and 2× after 12 hours in a day. On the 7th consecutive workday, the first 8 hours are 1.5× and the rest 2×. |
| Colorado | Colorado pays 1.5× after 12 hours in a workday, after 12 consecutive hours, or after 40 hours in a week. |
| Nevada | Nevada pays 1.5× after 40 hours in a week. Employees earning less than 1.5× the minimum wage (about $18.00 an hour) also get 1.5× after 8 hours in a 24-hour period, unless they agreed to a 4-day, 10-hour schedule. |

Frequently asked questions
How is overtime calculated?
Multiply your regular hourly rate by 1.5 to get your overtime rate, then multiply it by your overtime hours. For example, 45 hours at $20 an hour is 40 × $20 + 5 × $30 = $950.
When does overtime start?
Under federal law, after 40 hours in a workweek. California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado also have daily overtime rules.
Is overtime taxed more?
No. Overtime is taxed as regular income. A bigger paycheck can have more withholding, but your tax rate on the year is the same.
