Overtime at $35 an hour
Hours over 40 in a week are paid at least time and a half for non-exempt workers: $52.50 an hour at $35. Ten overtime hours add $525.00 to the week before tax. For 2025 through 2028, the extra half — $17.50 of each overtime hour — can be deducted on your federal return, up to $12,500 a year (how it works); your paycheck is still withheld as usual.
