The Modern Way to Manage Your Timesheet
Filling out a paper time card is a thing of the past. Our Time Card Calculator provides a simple, accurate, and fast way to calculate your weekly hours and determine your gross pay, including complex overtime scenarios. Whether you're an employee verifying your wages or a manager processing payroll, this tool is built to save you time and prevent costly errors.
How to Use the Time Card Calculator
- Fill in Your Hours: For each day you worked, enter your Start Time and End Time. The calculator is smart enough to handle overnight shifts automatically.
- Enter Breaks: Input any unpaid break time in total minutes for each day (e.g., a 30-minute lunch is simply "30").
- Watch Daily Totals: As you fill in the details, the "Total" column updates in real-time, showing you the hours worked for each day.
- Set Your Pay & Overtime: Enter your standard hourly wage. Then, select your company's overtime policy—either based on a 40-hour week or an 8-hour day. The overtime pay rate is preset to 1.5x, but you can adjust it.
- Calculate Your Summary: Hit the "Calculate Pay" button for a complete breakdown of your regular hours, overtime hours, and total gross pay for the week.
Understanding Overtime Calculation
Overtime laws can vary, but this calculator covers the two most common rules in the United States:
- After 40 Hours a Week: This is the federal standard. All hours worked beyond 40 in a single workweek are paid at the overtime rate.
- After 8 Hours a Day: Some states, like California, have daily overtime rules. Any hours worked beyond 8 in a single day are considered overtime, regardless of the weekly total.
This tool makes it easy to apply the correct rule, ensuring an accurate pay calculation every time.
