How Alaska overtime works
Alaska Statute 23.10.060 sets two triggers: more than 8 hours in a workday, or more than 40 hours in a workweek. Hours past a trigger pay 1.5× your regular rate. The calculator applies the daily threshold first, then checks the weekly total against only the remaining regular hours — so no hour is paid as overtime twice (no “pyramiding”).
Four 10-hour days = 8 hours of overtime. Federally this schedule pays zero OT; in Alaska each day's 2 hours past 8 are 1.5×.
Six 10-hour days = 20 hours of overtime. 12 daily OT hours, plus the weekly rule converting the regular pool's excess over 40 — without re-counting the daily OT.
Looking for a different state? California adds double time and a 7th-day rule — see the California overtime calculator. Colorado's daily trigger is 12 hours — see the Colorado overtime calculator.

Running payroll for a team?
A calculator is great for checking the math; payroll software applies these rules automatically every pay run. Tools small teams commonly compare:
Full-service payroll that files federal and state taxes automatically — popular with small teams.
Payroll built into QuickBooks — a natural fit if your books are already there.
Payroll and compliance for distributed and international teams, contractors included.

Heads up: this calculator provides general information for standard non-exempt schedules, not legal or payroll advice. Exemptions and state rules vary — when pay is in dispute, verify with your state labor agency or a qualified professional.
Frequently asked questions
- Does Alaska have daily overtime?
- Yes. Under AS 23.10.060, non-exempt employees earn 1.5× pay for hours beyond 8 in a workday — in addition to the 40-hour weekly rule. An hour only counts once: daily overtime hours don't also count toward the weekly 40.
- Does Alaska pay double time?
- No. Unlike California, Alaska law tops out at 1.5×. A 14-hour day pays 8 regular hours and 6 overtime hours, all at time-and-a-half.
- Who is exempt from Alaska overtime?
- Common exemptions include employers with fewer than four employees, certain agriculture and fishing work, and white-collar exemptions similar to the federal FLSA. When in doubt, check with the Alaska Department of Labor — this calculator assumes a standard non-exempt schedule.
