If you work overtime
Under US federal rules, non-exempt employees are generally paid 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. At $40 an hour that is $60.00 per overtime hour. Five overtime hours every week would add $15,600 a year and bring gross pay to about $98,800. Try the overtime calculator.
