Overtime and extra hours at $27.00
| Rate | Per hour | Per extra weekly hour, per year |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (1×) | $27.00 | $1,404 |
| Time and a half (1.5×) | $40.50 | $2,106 |
| Double time (2×) | $54.00 | $2,808 |
Extra hours are taxed at your marginal rate, not your average rate, so the take-home from overtime is lower than your usual hourly net, but overtime never pushes the tax on your existing pay higher.
