PaycheckHours

Time Card Calculator

Enter each day's start and end times and any unpaid break. The calculator adds the week in hours and minutes and in decimal hours (7 h 45 min = 7.75 h), splits overtime per week, and works out gross pay.

How it works

For each shift, hours = end − start; if the end is earlier than the start, the shift crossed midnight and 24 hours are added. Day hours = all shifts − unpaid breaks. Decimal hours = minutes ÷ 60. Overtime = week hours above your threshold, counted week by week. Gross pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × overtime multiplier.

Worked examples

  1. Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:30 with a 30-minute unpaid lunch: 8 h 30 min − 30 min = 8:00 a day, 40:00 (40.00 h) a week. At $18 an hour that is $720.00.
  2. A split shift of 07:00–11:00 and 15:00–19:30 is 4:00 + 4:30 = 8:30, or 8.50 decimal hours.
  3. Two weeks of 50 and 30 hours at $20 an hour: week 1 has 10 overtime hours, week 2 has none. Pay = 70 × $20 + 10 × $30 = $1,700, not the $1,600 you would get by averaging 80 hours over two weeks, which US federal law does not allow.

Common questions

How do I calculate hours worked with a lunch break?

Work out the time from clock-in to clock-out, then subtract the unpaid break. 08:00 to 16:30 with a 30-minute unpaid lunch is 8 h 30 min − 30 min = 8 hours.

How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60. 15 minutes = 0.25 h, 30 minutes = 0.5 h, 45 minutes = 0.75 h, and 20 minutes ≈ 0.33 h. So 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours.

How do I count a shift that goes past midnight?

Enter the real start and end times, for example 22:00 and 06:00. When the end is earlier than the start, the calculator counts the time through midnight: 8 hours in this case.

Is overtime calculated per day or per week?

Under US federal law (the FLSA), overtime is due for hours over 40 in a workweek, at no less than 1.5 times the regular rate, and weeks cannot be averaged. Some states and other countries have different rules; set the threshold and rate that apply to you.
