Assumptions

• Federal rule (FLSA): covered non-exempt employees get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Each workweek stands alone. U.S. Department of Labor
• California option: 1.5 times for hours over 8 in a day and over 40 in a week, and for the first 8 hours on the seventh consecutive workday; 2 times for hours over 12 in a day and over 8 on the seventh consecutive workday. "Seventh day" here means all 7 days of the week have hours. Weekly overtime counts only hours not already paid as daily overtime. California Labor Commissioner
• The "regular rate" can include some bonuses and other pay; this tool uses only the hourly rate you enter. It assumes the employee is non-exempt and the days entered are one workweek. Other states may have their own rules: see overtime by state.

Unused vacation (PTO) value

Unused vacation hours

Hourly rate at separation ($)

This shows the value of the hours at the rate you enter, before taxes. Whether unused vacation must be paid out depends on the state and the employer's policy; for example, California treats accrued vacation as wages at termination, while Texas requires payout only if a written policy or agreement promises it. See PTO payout by state.
