New York City Minimum Wage & Overtime Calculator

New York City minimum wage and overtime calculator

Work out your gross weekly pay in New York City at the $16.00/hr minimum wage, with overtime at 1.5x for hours over 40. You can enter a custom base rate and switch on tipped-worker mode to see the New York cash-wage and tip-credit rules that apply to food-service staff.

How it works

New York law pays time-and-a-half for hours over 40 in a workweek. The calculation is:

regular_hours = min(hours, 40)
overtime_hours = max(hours - 40, 0)
gross = regular_hours * rate + overtime_hours * rate * 1.5

The NYC minimum is $16.00/hr, so overtime is $24.00/hr. For tipped food-service workers, the employer can pay a cash wage of $10.65 and claim a $5.35 tip credit — but combined cash + tips must reach at least $16.00/hr, or the employer owes the shortfall.

Example and notes

A worker doing 45 hours at $16.00: 40 regular hours = $640, plus 5 overtime hours at $24.00 = $120, for $760 gross that week. A tipped server on the $10.65 cash wage still must net at least $16.00/hr once tips are added. Figures are gross, before tax, for guidance only — not legal or payroll advice.
