What ExtraHalf does
Overtime meter
The home screen shows your hours against the overtime threshold, so you can see how close the week is to paying the extra half.
Shift and tip log
Add jobs, shifts and tips as you go, and edit them later. The tax engine works from the entries you make.
Pay stub and W-2 amounts
Enter amounts from a pay stub or your W-2 to estimate your qualified overtime premium, rather than guessing.
Check your 2025 return
One pay stub is enough to see whether you may have missed the overtime or tip deduction on a 2025 return.
W-4 help
See an estimate of the saving per paycheck and the figures to put on the new W-4 lines, so the benefit shows up in every pay period.
Ten worked examples
Examples for different jobs, including hospital staff, firefighters, police, servers and bartenders, show how the rules play out.
Year-end PDF and CSV
Export a report with the Schedule 1-A figures and a CSV of your entries to share with your tax preparer.
Weekly reminder
An optional weekly reminder is scheduled on your device so the log stays up to date.
No account, data on your device
ExtraHalf has no account system and no server of its own. Your tax profile, jobs, shifts, pay stubs and tips are stored on your device, and the app includes no advertising and no analytics. Subscription status is checked through RevenueCat using a random app user ID. Read the full ExtraHalf privacy policy for the details.
Estimates, not tax advice
ExtraHalf gives estimates based on the rules it implements. It is not tax advice and it does not file anything for you. Confirm your figures with a tax professional or the IRS before you rely on them.
