How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
New Jersey tax in these results: 7 brackets (table below) walked over gross pay, with no New Jersey deduction, exemption or credit subtracted. Federal income tax (single filer, 2026), 6.2% Social Security and 1.45% Medicare apply to the same annual gross; the §225 overtime-premium deduction is not applied.
Key State Information
New Jersey overtime facts: Minimum wage $15.92/hr | Tipped cash wage before tips $6.05/hr | State tax up to 10.75% | Median household income $104,294.
Example Calculation
A New Jersey worker earning the $20.00/hr default works 10 overtime hours every week: $41,600 of base pay plus $15,600 of overtime (520 hours × $20.00 × 1.5), $57,200 a year.
New Jersey tax on the overtime: the overtime sits between $41,600 and $57,200 of yearly pay, all inside New Jersey's 5.525% bracket, so 5.525% × $15,600 = $862 (5.53% of it, against 1.94% of base pay). Federal income tax adds $1,872 and FICA $1,193.
Result: You keep $11,672 of the $15,600 (74.8%).

Our editorial standardsFrequently Asked Questions
What is the overtime rate in New Jersey?
At least $23.88/hr at New Jersey's $15.92 wage floor: 1.5 × the regular rate for an FLSA-covered, non-exempt worker's hours over 40 in a workweek. Source of the $15.92/hr floor: New Jersey minimum wage law, via U.S. DOL WHD Consolidated State Minimum Wage Table. New Jersey seasonal employers and employers with fewer than 6 employees have a $15.23/hr rate (DOL WHD, fn4, rev. 2026-07-01); 1.5 × $15.23 is $22.85/hr.
Is overtime taxed differently in New Jersey?
No separate overtime rate applies: overtime is wages, taxed with the rest of your pay. Because New Jersey's brackets are progressive, overtime is taxed at the highest New Jersey bracket your yearly pay reaches (5.525% at this page's default). For 2025-2028, eligible workers can deduct the overtime premium on their federal return (26 U.S.C. §225); the No Tax on Overtime Deduction Calculator estimates it.
