Overtime and extra hours at $43.00
| Rate | Per hour | Per extra weekly hour, per year |

| Standard (1×) | $43.00 | $2,236 |
| Time and a half (1.5×) | $64.50 | $3,354 |

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.
