Frequently asked questions
To calculate work hours, subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time for each shift, add the day's shifts, and take out unpaid breaks. 8:30 AM to 5:15 PM with a 30-minute lunch is 8 hours 15 minutes, or 8.25 hours. Then add the days of the week for the total hours worked.
Both. People call it a time clock calculator, a time sheet calculator, a work hours or work time calculator, a work calculator or an hours worked calculator, and it is the same job: enter each clock in and clock out time from a time clock, a punch card or a paper timesheet, and it adds the hours worked for each day and the week.
Yes. Pick a weekly or biweekly period and the day your workweek starts. As a weekly hours calculator it totals each workweek on its own; on a biweekly time card the two weeks stay apart, so overtime is counted per workweek as the law requires.
Yes, and as an hourly calculator for pay: add the hourly rate and it will calculate work hours and pay, with regular, overtime and double-time hours, and gross pay. The hours show in hours and minutes and in decimal hours, the form payroll uses, and download to Excel or CSV for your payroll.
Divide the minutes by 60: the time clock conversion payroll uses, also called minutes to hundredths. 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes is 0.5 and 45 minutes is 0.75, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. For the hours and minutes calculator, choose «Hours ↔ decimal» in «Work out»: it converts hours to decimal and back.
Under federal rules, a meal period of usually 30 minutes or more is not work time when the employee is fully relieved of duty (29 CFR 785.19). Short breaks of 5 to 20 minutes are paid work time and should not be taken off the card (29 CFR 785.18). On the card, enter the lunch break, a 30-minute lunch break or any length, and the calculator takes it off, like a time clock with lunch built in.
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, hours over 40 in a workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. Each workweek stands on its own, so two weeks on a biweekly card are never averaged. Some states add daily overtime.
Alaska pays overtime after 8 hours a day at employers with 4 or more employees, California after 8 hours with double time after 12, Colorado after 12 hours, and Nevada after 8 hours for pay under $18 an hour. Kentucky pays time and a half for a 7th workday in the week.
When the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the shift ends the next day: 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM with a 30-minute break is 7.5 hours, counted on the day the shift started. For split shifts, switch on «Split shifts: two clock-ins a day» over the card: each day gets a second clock in and clock out, and the shift hours add up.
Yes: it is an employee hours calculator too. Press «Add another employee» over the card and each one gets a tab, with their own times, hourly rate and totals. The PDF, Excel and CSV files include every employee.
Add 8 hours and your unpaid break to your clock-in time. If you clock in at 8:30 AM and take a 30-minute lunch, you reach 8 hours at 5:00 PM. For the clock-out calculator, choose «Clock-out time» in «Work out»: it works this out as an 8-hour shift calculator, or for any number of hours.
Yes: a free time calculator, with no sign-up and no app to install. It works in the browser on a phone or a computer. The card is saved in your browser, so it is still there when you come back, and nothing you type is sent anywhere.
In Excel, with clock-in in A2, clock-out in B2 and the break in minutes in C2, =(B2-A2)*24-C2/60 gives decimal hours; wrap it as =MOD(B2-A2,1)*24-C2/60 for a shift past midnight. The calculator's Excel download already has the hours worked filled in.
