The rules this calculator uses

Federal (FLSA). Hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at least 1.5 times the regular rate. There is no federal daily overtime, and weekends or holidays don't trigger overtime by themselves. Source: U.S. DOL Fact Sheet #23: Overtime Pay Requirements of the FLSA.

California. For adult non-exempt employees:

Source: California Labor Commissioner's Office (DIR), Overtime FAQ.

No double-counting. Each hour is paid at one rate only. Hours already paid as daily or seventh-day overtime don't count again toward the 40 weekly straight-time hours. Weekly overtime is taken from the straight-time hours that come after the 40th, in day order.

What this doesn't cover. Exempt employees, alternative workweek schedules, other states' daily overtime rules, and a regular rate that includes bonuses, commissions or more than one pay rate. Those change the math.
