Weekly vs daily overtime hours
The federal rule is simple: anything over 40 hours in a week is overtime, no matter how the hours fall across days. That is the “Weekly OT” figure above.
Some states also count daily overtime — hours over 8 in a single day. The two methods are not added together; a daily-overtime state generally applies whichever gives the employee more overtime. Seeing both helps you understand which rule matters where you work. To turn these hours into dollars, use the overtime pay calculator.
