The overtime rate is an added percentage to the regular rate. By how much percentage, this would depend on the place you're working. If your work in USA, under US federal labor and tax law, the rate would be 150%. Thus, the overtime rate would then be:

Overtime rate = $8.75/hour * 1.50 = $13.125/hour
