Is an Overtime Calculator the Same as Legal Advice?
Use the free tool — Overtime Checker
What Overtime Checker Actually Does
You type in your hours and pay for the week. The tool shows you what federal law says you should have earned, and it quotes the exact rule it used. It is meant to give you information based on your own numbers — not a calculation made by your employer, and not a lawyer's opinion.
Is This Legal Advice?
No. This is not legal advice. It only shows what the federal rule says based on the numbers you enter yourself. If you believe you have a real wage dispute, you should confirm your situation with a professional or the appropriate agency before taking any action.
What Is Free and What Costs $9
- Checking your hours and pay against federal law is free.
- For $9, you can add a polite letter to send to your payroll department, written in either English or Spanish.
The letter is just a polite note explaining what federal law says. It does not guarantee your employer will fix your pay. If your employer does not respond, it may help to check with a professional or the right government agency next.
What We Don't Know
We don't know whether the tool stores or shares what you type in. The tool's own description does not say one way or the other. If privacy matters to you, check the site's privacy policy directly before using it.
What to Do Next
The free tool reads your own hours and pay for the week and shows you what federal law says, with the rule quoted directly. Try entering your own numbers to see what the result says for your situation. Remember: this is not legal advice, so confirm with a professional or the appropriate agency if you plan to take further action.
