Does the Arizona page decide overtime eligibility?

No. It applies user-entered weekly arithmetic and does not decide FLSA coverage, exemption status, compensable time, or a special industry rule.

Why link the Industrial Commission of Arizona?

That official source provides Arizona labor and minimum-wage context, while federal DOL sources support the weekly overtime concepts modeled here.

Arizona weekly overtime

Arizona Overtime Calculator

Estimate Arizona overtime pay using hourly wage, weekly hours, a federal-baseline threshold, and optional rough paycheck deductions.

How this state overtime estimate works

This Arizona overtime calculator uses total weekly hours, hourly rate, weekly threshold, overtime multiplier, and optional deduction percentage. It is designed for quick gross-pay planning and paycheck comparison, not for deciding whether a particular worker is covered by overtime rules.

The default threshold is 40 hours and the default multiplier is 1.5x because many Arizona overtime questions start with the federal FLSA baseline for covered nonexempt workers. You can change the threshold or multiplier when modeling a different policy or known rule.

Arizona overtime and wage notes

Arizona has state labor and minimum wage resources, but many overtime questions still require federal FLSA analysis. Many covered nonexempt employees must receive overtime pay at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, with exemptions and special rules possible.

Do not assume every worker is overtime-eligible or every hour entered is compensable. Salaried status, duties, industry, public employment, travel time, on-call time, and other facts can change the analysis.

Arizona weekly overtime example

Suppose an Arizona worker earns $23 per hour and works 47 hours in a workweek. With a 40-hour threshold, the calculator estimates 40 regular hours and 7 overtime hours. At 1.5x, overtime pay is estimated at $241.50 and regular pay is $920, for estimated gross pay of $1,161.50 before deductions.

Example: $23 x 40 = $920 regular pay. $23 x 1.5 x 7 = $241.50 overtime pay. Estimated gross pay = $1,161.50.

What this calculator does not determine

This calculator does not determine exemption status, whether the federal FLSA applies, whether an Arizona wage claim exists, or whether a special industry rule changes the overtime calculation. It also does not calculate exact federal or Arizona withholding.

The deduction percentage is a rough user-entered estimate. Actual take-home pay depends on federal withholding, payroll taxes, benefits, retirement contributions, garnishments, filing status, and payroll elections.

Official sources to check

Use the Industrial Commission of Arizona labor and minimum wage resources for Arizona wage topics. Use federal DOL overtime and regular-rate sources for the overtime baseline and regular-rate concepts.

If your pay includes commissions, bonuses, shift differentials, multiple rates, or nondiscretionary incentives, a simple hourly-rate calculation may be incomplete.

Common Arizona overtime mistakes

A common mistake is using scheduled hours instead of hours worked. Another is entering paid time off as worked hours without checking whether the applicable overtime rule counts it.

A third mistake is assuming the paycheck deduction percentage proves a tax result. It is only a planning input for a rough net-pay comparison.
