🕐 Time Card Calculator
Enter your week's clock times to get total hours and estimated pay.
How This Is Calculated
For each day, the calculator subtracts your unpaid break minutes from the time between clock-in and clock-out, then sums every day into a weekly total. If pay is estimated, this covers only regular (non-overtime) pay at a flat rate — see our dedicated Overtime Pay Calculator for time-and-a-half calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?
15 minutes = 0.25 hours, 30 minutes = 0.50 hours, 45 minutes = 0.75 hours.
What if my shift crosses midnight?
This calculator automatically handles overnight shifts — if clock-out is earlier than clock-in, it treats
the shift as crossing into the next day.
Guide: understanding your result
- Daily hours = clock-out − clock-in − unpaid breaks. Weekly pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × 1.5.
- Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees earn overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek; a few states (such as California) also have daily overtime.
- Employers must keep accurate time records; keeping your own log helps you check your paycheck.
Worked example
Five days of 8:00 AM–5:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid lunch = 8.5 hours a day, 42.5 hours a week. At $20/hour: 40 × $20 + 2.5 × $30 = $875.00 before taxes.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Subtracting paid 5–20 minute breaks — short breaks are generally paid working time.
- Averaging overtime across two weeks; overtime is calculated per workweek.
- Mixing up AM and PM on overnight shifts.
Frequently asked questions
Can my employer round my time?
Rounding to the nearest 5, 6 or 15 minutes is allowed under federal rules only if it is neutral over time and does not consistently reduce pay.
