From clock-in to paycheck: audit your weekly work hours with absolute precision.
A time card calculator answers the question that every hourly employee and manager asks every week: “How many hours did I actually work this week – including breaks, overtime, and different pay rates – and what should my gross pay be?”
A time card calculator is a specialized hours calculator designed for a full work week (or month). You enter your clock-in and clock-out times for each day, plus any unpaid breaks, and the calculator totals your regular hours, overtime hours, and gross pay.
| Day | Clock-In | Clock-Out | Break | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 08:00 AM | 12:00 PM | None | 4.0 h |
| Monday | 01:00 PM | 05:00 PM | None | 4.0 h |
| Monday Total | 8.0 h | |||
9-to-5 Standard
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (1h Break) = 7 hours actual work time.
Overtime Delta
45 total weekly hours = 40 Regular + 5 Overtime Hours.
Shift Differentials
Day shift ($20/hr) vs Night shift ($25/hr) audit logic.
Temporal Rounding
Actual 8:07 AM → Rounded to 8:00 AM (Professional Standard).
Over 40 hours in a work week. The federal standard for non-exempt employees.
Over 8 hours in a single day. Common in California and other jurisdictions.
Over 12 hours in a day. High-intensity labor protection rules.
Lunch Breaks
Forgetting to subtract unpaid breaks adds unearned hours to the audit.
AM/PM Inversion
Mixing 12:00 PM (Noon) and 12:00 AM (Midnight) skew results by 12 hours.
Split Shifts
Treating multiple daily entries as one long shift ignores the unpaid gap.
