Florida overtime calculator

Florida has no general overtime law of its own, so overtime comes from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Enter your hourly rate and the hours you worked each day of one workweek.

Florida overtime rules

• 1.5× your regular rate for every hour over 40 in a workweek
• No daily overtime for hourly workers, and no required weekend or holiday premium
• No averaging. Each workweek stands alone.

What about Florida's "10-hour day" law?

Florida Statutes §448.01 says ten hours of labor is "a legal day's work" for manual laborers employed "by the day, week, month or year", with "extra pay" past 10 hours unless a written contract says otherwise. It sets no rate, and a Florida appeals court held that it doesn't apply to hourly employees (Quaker Oats Co. v. Jewell, 2002). For hourly workers, the federal 40-hour rule is what counts.

Florida minimum wage

$15.00 an hour since September 30, 2026 ($14.00 before that), so the lowest overtime rate is $22.50. From now on the rate is adjusted for inflation. Florida's minimum wage covers the workers the FLSA covers.

Example

At $15 an hour, five 9-hour days are 45 hours: 40 × $15 = $600 regular, plus 5 × $22.50 = $112.50 overtime, for $712.50.

Questions

Do I get overtime after 8 or 10 hours in a day in Florida?

No. As an hourly worker, you get overtime only for hours over 40 in the workweek.

Is holiday or Sunday work paid extra?

Not by law. Those hours count toward the 40 like any others; extra pay comes only from your employer's policy.

Where do I report unpaid overtime?

To the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division, which enforces the FLSA.

Is overtime tax-free in Florida?

Florida has no state income tax. For federal income tax, from 2025 through 2028 you can deduct the extra half of time and a half, up to $12,500 a year ($25,000 on a joint return). Overtime is still taxed and withheld on your paycheck, and Social Security and Medicare still apply; the deduction comes off when you file. Estimate it with the No Tax on Overtime calculator.
