Time Card And Work Hours Calculator

How To Calculate My Work Hours

Use this time card calculator to count your work hours. It counts the time between your start and end times, takes off unpaid breaks and adds the days into a weekly total.

Pick a week, then type the time you started, the time you finished and any unpaid break for each day. You can type times the way you say them, such as 8:30a, 830am or 17:30. A shift that ends after midnight counts correctly, so a night shift needs no special steps.

Add an hourly rate and the totals panel also shows regular hours, overtime hours and gross pay before tax. Every figure has a working you can open, so you can see how it was reached.

A Worked Example Week

Here is a plain week for one person, to show how to calculate your work hours by hand. Each day is the finish time minus the start time, minus the unpaid break. The week adds up to 37 h 45 m, which is 37.75 in decimal hours.

Notice that Friday has no break because the shift is only six hours. The calculator takes the break you enter and does not add one for you unless you turn that option on.

Hours And Minutes, Or Decimal Hours

Most people read time as hours and minutes. Payroll often wants decimal hours, where 7 hours 45 minutes is written 7.75. Pay is the decimal hours times your hourly rate.

Each day on the card shows both. The weekly figure is worked out in total minutes and converted once at the end. That avoids the small errors that come from rounding each day first.

To convert a single figure, use the decimal hours converter.

Timesheet Calculator For A Week, Two Weeks Or A Month

The same card works as a weekly timesheet calculator. For a longer pay period, change the period in the settings, or open the biweekly or monthly version.

Each one adds the hours across the whole period and splits them into regular and overtime hours.

For two weeks, try the biweekly timesheet calculator or the monthly one.

Unpaid Breaks And Lunch

Enter the length of your unpaid break in minutes. The card subtracts it from the shift. A paid break needs no entry, because it stays inside your working time.

If you stop for lunch, you can enter two shifts for one day. For example, 8 am to noon and 12:45 pm to 5 pm. The gap between them is your unpaid time.

For a card built around a lunch break, try the time card calculator with lunch.

Overtime And Pay

Overtime rules differ by country, state and employer, so the calculator lets you choose the rule that applies to you. You can set when overtime starts, how much it pays and whether a day counts as double time.

The totals panel splits your hours into regular and overtime and prices each at the right rate. It is an estimate for your own records, not payroll, tax or legal advice.

To test a rule with your own numbers, use the overtime calculator.

Time Clock Calculator: Punch In Or Type Later

Think of this as a time clock calculator with two ways in. Press the punch clock when you start and finish, or type your times at the end of the day.

Either way the hours land on the same card and the same weekly total. Hours recorded live are marked as recorded live, and typed hours are marked as entered later. That keeps an honest record if you ever need to show how a figure was made.

To clock in now, open the online punch clock.

Employee Time And Payroll Hours

If you keep hours for someone else, print the card with signature lines for the employee and the supervisor. Add one job for each person to keep their cards apart.

The payroll hours calculator turns a period of hours into gross pay before tax. It is a record for your own use and not payroll software.

To see a period as pay, open the payroll hours calculator.

Time Card, Timesheet Or Work Hours: Is There A Difference?

Not much. A time card, a timesheet and a work hours record all list the hours you worked each day and add them up. The names change by country and by employer.

This one calculator covers all of them, whether you call it a time card calculator, a timesheet calculator or an hours calculator.

Your Hours Stay On Your Device

There is no account and no server holding your week. Everything you type is saved in your own browser on this device, and nothing is sent anywhere.

That also means your history does not follow you to another phone or computer. To move it, make a backup file from the time card and restore it on the other device.

You can print the card, save it as a file, or copy a share link. A share link opens a read only copy of the week and only saves it if the other person asks.

Get Your Total Right: A Short Checklist

1. Check that the week starts on the day your employer uses. You can change it in the settings.
2. Enter the real start and end times, not the scheduled ones.
3. Enter unpaid breaks in minutes, and leave paid breaks out.
4. Choose the rounding your employer applies, or none if it does not round.
5. Compare the decimal total with your pay slip, and open the working if the two differ.
