| Item | 2026 Figure |
|---|---|
| Federal overtime threshold (FLSA) | Over 40 hours/week |
| Standard overtime multiplier | 1.5× regular rate |
| PA state overtime rule | Follows federal FLSA standard |
| PA state income tax on overtime | 3.07% (same as regular wages) |
| Local EIT on overtime | Same rate as regular wages |
| Federal Fed. Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) | 6.2% SS + 1.45% Medicare (employee share) |
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), most non-exempt hourly employees must be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek. Pennsylvania follows this federal standard rather than setting its own separate overtime multiplier — there's no PA-specific daily overtime rule the way some other states have.
Overtime pay isn't taxed at a special rate the way bonuses can be — it's simply added to your regular wages for the pay period and taxed through your normal federal withholding brackets, plus Pennsylvania's flat 3.07% state tax and your local EIT rate. The "extra" you keep from overtime is driven by the 1.5× pay rate itself, not by any tax advantage.
