How To Calculate Overtime Taxes?

I was wondering. How do I calculate overtime withholdings tax on a paycheck. (Example) I make 7.65 an hour with anything over 80 hours every 2 weeks considered overtime, and I put in 120 hours for those 2 weeks, how do I calculate how much money goes to taxes. I recently received a 750.00 paycheck for 80 regular hours, and 40 overtime hours. I thought it would be more then that. Something smells fishy.

    Overtime is taxed at the same rate as other income.  However, if you worked enough over time in one pay period it might have moved you into a higher tax bracket and any money over that limit would have been taxed at a higher rate.  This may be why your check seemed smaller than you thought.
