Texas Overtime Laws & Calculator 2026

How this calculation works

Texas does not impose state-specific overtime beyond the federal FLSA. Hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5×.

Unlike California and New York, Texas has no daily overtime or double-time mandates.

How this Texas Overtime Laws & Calculator works — 2026 guide

Texas overtime laws in 2026 are simple compared to California: the state adds nothing on top of federal FLSA. That means 1.5× pay for every hour past 40 in a single workweek, no daily overtime, no double-time mandate, and a $7.25/hour state minimum wage that matches the federal floor. This Texas overtime calculator applies exactly those rules — enter your hours and rate, and you get a compliant gross-pay breakdown.

How to use it in 3 steps

1. Enter your regular hourly rate and the hours worked in the workweek.
2. Add any hours over 40 — the calculator applies 1.5× automatically per federal FLSA (Texas adds no daily premium).
3. Read your gross pay split into regular and overtime portions.

Who this is for

Texas hourly workers checking a paycheck, small employers running compliant payroll, and HR staff onboarding in a state with no daily OT rule.
