Estimate your federal tax savings from qualified overtime and tips deductions under 2026 tax rules.
How the 2026 Overtime & Tips Tax Calculator Works
The 2026 federal tax law provides deductions for certain qualified overtime compensation and qualified tips. This calculator estimates how those deductions could affect federal income tax.
What Counts as Qualified Overtime?
Qualified overtime generally refers to the overtime premium required under the Fair Labor Standards Act. For example, with time-and-a-half pay, the qualifying amount is generally the portion above the regular hourly rate rather than the entire overtime payment.
What Is the 2026 Tips Deduction?
Eligible taxpayers may deduct up to $25,000 of qualified tips, subject to applicable rules and income limitations. Qualified tips do not generally become exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes.
