Overtime and extra hours at $29.00
| Rate | Per hour | Per extra weekly hour, per year |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (1×) | $29.00 | $1,508 |
| Time and a half (1.5×) | $43.50 | $2,262 |
| Double time (2×) | $58.00 | $3,016 |
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.
