HoursPad

Alaska overtime calculator (one day)

Type one day's start, end and break. HoursPad splits the day using the daily threshold in Alaska Statutes 23.10.060. It does not add up the week.

Not legal, tax or payroll advice. General information only; results are estimates. Read the full notice.

Type a start time and an end time.

Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.

This tool works on one day only. It does not add up the week, so it does not work out weekly overtime.

Example: 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break is 10 h 30 min (10.50 hours). Applying only the daily threshold quoted below, HoursPad estimates 8 h at the regular rate and 2 h 30 min at 1.5 times.

Estimate based on what you entered. Not legal or payroll advice; check it against your employer's records.

How to use it

  1. Type the Start time and End time of one workday.
  2. Type the unpaid break in minutes in "Unpaid break (minutes)", if any.
  3. Optional: type a rate in "Hourly rate in dollars (optional)" to see an estimate of pay before taxes for that day.
  4. Read the split between regular time and time at 1.5 times.

What the Alaska statute says

The calculator above uses only the daily line. Alaska's break rules are not covered here because HoursPad has no official table for them; the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development can confirm what applies to a job.

Questions

Does this add up the whole week?

No. It works on one day. The statute also names a 40-hour weekly line, and it says which hours count toward it; that sentence is quoted below, but this tool does not add up a week.

Where does the daily number come from?

The 8-hour number comes from Alaska Statutes section 23.10.060, published by the Alaska State Legislature. The words are quoted below.

Does the statute apply to every job?

HoursPad does not decide that. The statute lists exceptions in its subsection (d). Read them on the official page, or ask your employer or the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development.

Is the result a pay calculation?

No. It is an estimate from the times you type, split with the daily threshold in the statute.
