Hours Calculator
Calculate weekly work hours, break time, overtime, decimal hours, and estimated pay.
Weekly Time Card
Leave a day blank to exclude it. End times before start times are treated as overnight shifts.
How to Use the Hours Calculator
Build a weekly time card from start times, end times, unpaid breaks, and overtime settings.
Enter actual shift times
Use each day's start and end time as written on the time card. Blank days are ignored, and overnight shifts are handled automatically.
Subtract unpaid breaks
Break minutes are deducted from gross shift time. Use zero when breaks are paid or already excluded from your start/end times.
Review regular vs overtime
Set the weekly threshold and multiplier to estimate the regular/overtime split. Laws and payroll policies can differ.

Hours Calculator FAQ
Common questions about time cards, breaks, overtime, and decimal hours.
Does the hours calculator handle overnight shifts?
Yes. If the end time is earlier than or equal to the start time, the shift is treated as crossing midnight into the next day.
How are breaks handled?
Break minutes are subtracted from each shift. If a break is longer than the gross shift length, it is capped at the gross shift time so the net hours do not go negative.
Can I calculate overtime pay?
Yes. Enter an hourly rate, weekly overtime threshold, and overtime multiplier. The calculator splits weekly net hours into regular and overtime hours.
Are decimal hours included?
Yes. The result shows hours and minutes plus decimal hours so the total can be copied into payroll, invoices, or timesheets.
Is this a legal payroll calculator?
No. It is a planning and time-card math tool. Payroll laws, rounding policies, paid breaks, and overtime rules vary by employer and jurisdiction.
