Understanding Overtime Taxes
Federal Income Tax
Overtime pay is taxed at your regular federal income tax rate. Higher overtime pay may push you into a higher tax bracket.
Social Security & Medicare
Overtime is subject to FICA taxes (6.2% Social Security + 1.45% Medicare = 7.65% total).
State and Local Taxes
Depending on your location, you may also pay state and local income taxes on overtime earnings.
Tax Withholding
Employers may withhold extra taxes on overtime to prevent underpayment, resulting in larger refunds.
Common Overtime Rates
Standard Overtime (1.5x)
Most common rate for hours over 40 per week. Required by FLSA for non-exempt employees.
Double Time (2x)
Often for holidays, Sundays, or hours over 12 in a day. Varies by employer and state.
Triple Time (3x)
Rare but used for specific holidays or special circumstances. Usually contract-based.
Custom Rates
Some employers offer premium rates like 1.25x or other custom multipliers.

Can I change my tax withholding for overtime?
