Half of $35 is $17.50, so time and a half lands at $52.50 per hour. That's the floor for FLSA overtime at this wage — some states' daily rules and many contracts use the same 1.5x rate for other premium hours too.
A 40-hour week at $35/hour grosses $1,400; add 10 overtime hours and it's $1,925. Because overtime hours pay 1.5x, those 10 hours deliver the earnings of 15 regular ones — the fastest honest raise available without renegotiating your wage (about $72,800/year at full time).
Working these hours in 2025–2028? The $17.50/hour premium portion may be federally deductible — see the no tax on overtime calculator. And if your employer pays 2x for some hours, that's $70.00/hour — the double time calculator covers it.
