Overtime rules in Montana
1.5× after 40 hours in a workweek. No daily overtime.
Montana uses the 40-hour weekly rule with its own minimum wage.
Because Montana has no daily-overtime rule, only your weekly total matters: hours over 40 in the workweek are paid at 1.5×. A handful of states (California, Alaska, Colorado, Nevada) add daily overtime on top of this — Montana is not one of them.
Montana overtime pay example
Overtime pay = overtime hours × hourly rate × 1.5
At the Montana minimum wage of $10.85, an overtime
hour is worth $16.27. A 45-hour week =
40 regular ($434.00) + 5 overtime (5 × $10.85 × 1.5 = $81.38) = $515.38 gross. Earn more than minimum
