Offered a “promotion” with a pay cut

Last week I got offered a promotion that would involve switching from hourly to salary. It was presented as a somewhat generous raise in pay, but that is without taking into account what I make in overtime. After doing the math I actually make more as it is right now. Since this would mean I don’t qualify for overtime anymore, my pay would actually be less than it would have with OT Is this normal? Should I take the promotion or ask to stay as hourly?
