Time Card Calculators
Time Card Calculator
Enter your clock-in, clock-out, and break times for each day of the week and the calculator totals your hours, splits regular from overtime at 40 hours, and turns them into gross pay at your hourly rate.
Time card & work hours
Columns: worked · clock in · clock out · unpaid break (minutes). A clock-out earlier than the clock-in counts as an overnight shift.

Pay breakdown
Hours are plain arithmetic on the times you enter; overtime uses the standard federal 40-hour week at time-and-a-half. Some states and contracts use daily overtime or other rules, so treat pay totals as an estimate — not payroll or legal advice.
About this calculator
A free weekly time card calculator: tick the days you worked, enter clock-in and clock-out times with unpaid break minutes, and it totals paid hours for the week. Add an hourly rate and it splits the week at 40 hours into regular and overtime pay using the standard federal time-and-a-half convention. Companion views compute hours between any two clock times (including overnight shifts) and a straight overtime pay check. Hours are plain arithmetic on the times you enter. Some states and contracts use daily overtime or different multipliers, so pay totals are an estimate of gross pay — not payroll, tax, or legal advice.
How the week is totaled
Each day's paid time is clock-out minus clock-in minus the unpaid break, and a clock-out earlier than the clock-in is treated as an overnight shift that crosses midnight. Five 9-to-5 days with a one-hour lunch total exactly 40 hours — $800 gross at $20 an hour — while trimming the lunch to 30 minutes adds 2.5 paid hours and pushes the week into overtime territory.
Decimal hours are what payroll systems expect, and the conversion is the usual stumbling block: 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5 hours, not 7.3. The calculator does the minutes-to-decimal conversion for you, which is also why its totals can differ from a hand-added "7:30 + 8:15" column that was summed as if minutes were decimals.
Where the overtime split comes from
The 40-hour weekly threshold at time-and-a-half is the U.S. federal FLSA baseline for non-exempt employees, and it is what the calculator applies: a 45-hour week at $20 an hour is 40 regular hours ($800) plus 5 overtime hours at $30 ($150) for $950 gross. The threshold and multiplier are the defaults — not universal law.
States layer their own rules on top: California adds daily overtime after 8 hours and double time after 12, several states have daily thresholds, and union contracts or salaried-exempt status change the picture entirely. Gross pay here is also pre-tax — take-home is a separate calculation. Treat the figure as the federal-baseline estimate it is.

Questions
- Is the time card calculator free?
- Yes. It is free, needs no account, and calculates in your browser; nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
- How do I count an overnight shift?
- Enter the times as they happened — a 22:00 clock-in and 06:00 clock-out counts as 8 hours, because a clock-out earlier than the clock-in is read as crossing midnight.
- Are breaks paid or unpaid?
- The break minutes you enter are subtracted, so they model unpaid breaks. For paid breaks, simply leave them out of the break field.
- When does overtime start?
- The calculator uses the federal FLSA baseline: hours past 40 in the week at 1.5x pay. Daily-overtime states like California and special contracts differ — check your state rules before treating the split as your legal entitlement.
- Is the pay total what I'll receive?
- No — it is gross pay before taxes and deductions. Withholding, benefits, and state rules all change the final paycheck.
