Time and a half of 5

Time and a half of $5

According to the Fair Labor Standards Act, most employers are required to pay you at least time and a half if you make $5 an hour and work more than 40 hours a week.

In other words, you will be paid $5 for the first 40 hours you work in a week, and time and a half of $5 for the hours you work above 40 hours during the week.

As long as you are under the 40 hours, employers are not required to pay you time and a half for holidays, but many reputable employers pay it anyway.

So you want to know how much you will make if your normal pay is 5 dollars an hour, and you get paid time and a half because you worked overtime or on a holiday?

To calculate time and a half of any amount, you multiply the amount by 1.5. Therefore, you multiply $5 by 1.5 to get time and a half of $5. Here is the formula, the math, and the answer:

Normal Pay × 1.5 = Time and a half Pay
5 × 1.5 = 7.50

$5 normal pay
= $7.50 time and a half pay

Below, you can calculate your total salary before tax if you got paid some hours at your regular pay of $5 and some hours at time and a half of 5 dollars.
