$60,000 salaried is $28.85 an hour at 40 hours — but $23.08 at 50 hours, which is where the comparison usually falls apart.
Five overtime hours a week at $25 an hour is $9,750 a year of overtime pay, of which only $3,250 — the "half" — qualifies for the new deduction.
The deduction covers only the half of time-and-a-half, capped at $12,500 single and $25,000 joint. On $10,000 of overtime pay, roughly $3,333 qualifies, not the whole $10,000.
