Time Card Calculator
Add up your weekly work hours — enter clock-in, clock-out and breaks for each day to get daily and weekly totals, overtime over 40 hours, and gross pay from your hourly rate.
Estimate only, not payroll or legal advice. It totals hours and applies federal 1.5× overtime over 40 hours a week; it does not calculate taxes, deductions, or state-specific daily-overtime and break rules. Confirm against your pay stub or your state labor department.
How the time card calculator works
Enter your clock-in and clock-out time for each day and the minutes you took for unpaid breaks. The calculator works out the hours for that day, adds up the week, and — if you enter an hourly rate — shows your gross pay. Everything updates instantly as you type, and it all runs in your browser, so nothing you enter is sent anywhere.
How daily hours are calculated
For each day it takes your clock-out time minus your clock-in time, then subtracts the break minutes. If your shift runs past midnight — clocking in at 10:00 PM and out at 6:00 AM — it handles the overnight crossover automatically and counts the full eight hours instead of a negative number.
Overtime and pay
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn overtime at 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Leave the overtime toggle on and the calculator splits your week into regular and overtime hours and pays the overtime at time-and-a-half. Some states have daily overtime rules (for example over 8 hours in a day) that this weekly view doesn’t model — check your state’s rules if that applies to you.
Is this an official timesheet?
It’s a fast way to total hours and estimate pay — handy for checking a paycheck, billing a client, or filling out a timesheet. It’s an estimate, not payroll: it doesn’t calculate taxes or deductions, and your employer’s rounding and break rules may differ. For your take-home pay after taxes, use the paycheck calculator.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate hours on a time card?
For each day, subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time, then subtract any unpaid break. Add up all seven days for the week. This calculator does it automatically as you type — just enter your in and out times and break minutes, and it shows daily hours, the weekly total and your pay.
How does it handle overnight shifts?
If your clock-out time is earlier than your clock-in time — say in at 10:00 PM and out at 6:00 AM — the calculator recognizes the shift crosses midnight and counts the full hours instead of a negative number.
How is overtime calculated?
Federal law (FLSA) pays non-exempt employees 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. With the overtime toggle on, the calculator splits your week into regular and overtime hours and pays the overtime at time-and-a-half. Some states also have daily overtime rules this weekly view doesn’t model.
Does it calculate my take-home pay?
No — it shows gross pay (hours × rate, plus overtime). It doesn’t deduct federal, state or FICA taxes. For your take-home pay after withholding, use the paycheck calculator.
