How to Calculate Work Hours from a Time Card
- Enter your clock-in (start) time for each day you worked.
- Enter your clock-out (end) time for each day.
- Enter the total break time in minutes for each day.
- Click Calculate to see daily hours and weekly totals.

Formula
Daily Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Time
Weekly Total = Sum of all Daily Hours
Overtime = Weekly Total - 40 (if greater than 40)
Example
Monday: 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with 30 min break
Work time = 8 hours - 0.5 hours = 7.5 hours
5 days x 7.5 hours = 37.5 hours/week
Overtime = 0 hours (under 40)

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as overtime?
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime is any time worked over 40 hours in a workweek. Overtime pay is typically 1.5 times the regular hourly rate.
Should I include lunch breaks?
Unpaid lunch breaks should be subtracted from your total work time. Enter your break duration in the Break column. Paid breaks do not need to be subtracted.
How do I handle overnight shifts?
If your shift crosses midnight (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM), the calculator automatically handles this by adding 24 hours when the end time is earlier than the start time.
Is this calculator accurate for payroll?
This calculator provides accurate hour totals based on your inputs. However, actual payroll may differ due to rounding rules, state overtime laws, or company policies.
What is the standard full-time work week?
In the United States, a standard full-time work week is 40 hours. Many countries have different standards, ranging from 35 to 48 hours per week.
