This calculator needs JavaScript. Enable it, or use the conversion chart to total hours by hand.

Type times like 9, 9:30a, 17:30. Breaks in minutes (30) or 0:45. Overnight shifts (10 PM → 6 AM) are handled automatically. Use + split for a second work period in a day.

Overtime, done right.

State-aware overtime

Most time card calculators only know the federal 40-hour week. This one ships daily-overtime presets for California (8h/12h + 7th-day double time), Alaska, Nevada and Colorado — plus fully custom thresholds.

Private by design.

Your hours stay yours

Everything runs client-side. Your timesheet autosaves to your own browser, never to a server. No account, no email, no tracking of what you type — ever.

Payroll-ready output.

How to use this calculator

1

Enter start and end times

Type times the way you say them — 9, 9:30a, or 17:30 all work. Overnight shifts like 10 PM to 6 AM are detected automatically.
2

Subtract breaks

Add unpaid lunch or break minutes per day (30 = 30 minutes, 0:45 = 45 minutes). Paid rest breaks stay in your total.
3

Pick your overtime rule

Federal 40-hour weeks, or state presets for California (daily 8h/12h + 7th-day), Alaska, Nevada and Colorado. Custom thresholds are supported too.
4

Add an hourly rate (optional)

See regular, overtime and double-time pay split out, plus gross pay for the week — before taxes.
5

Print, copy or export

Print a clean report, copy the totals, or download a professional PDF, Excel, CSV or TXT file — all free, no sign-up.

Worked example

A retail associate works Monday–Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid lunch, at $18/hour under federal rules:

Day	Shift	Lunch	Hours
Mon–Fri (each)	8:30 AM – 5:00 PM	30 min	8:00
Total hours (5 days)			40:00
Decimal hours			40.00
Gross pay @ $18.00			$720.00

Add one Saturday shift of 6 hours and the week becomes 46 hours: 40 regular + 6 overtime at $27.00 (1.5×) = $882.00 gross. The calculator splits this automatically.

Built for real paychecks.

Everything the old time card sites left out.

Split shifts

Up to three work periods per day — mornings, evenings, side gigs.

Overnight shifts

10 PM to 6 AM just works. No date math, no negative hours.

Time rounding

Nearest 5, 6, 10 or 15 minutes with the classic 7/8 rule.

Double time

California 12-hour and 7th-day double time calculated per day.

Weekly subtotals

Biweekly and monthly sheets allocate overtime per workweek.

Share links

Send your filled timesheet as a link — data travels in the URL, not our servers.

Autosave

Close the tab mid-week; your hours are still here tomorrow.

12h & 24h time

Type 9:30a or 21:30 — both formats parse and display cleanly.

What is a time card calculator?

A time card calculator is a tool that converts clock-in and clock-out times into total hours worked and gross pay. It replaces the error-prone manual math of adding mixed hours and minutes, converting minutes to payroll decimals, and applying overtime rules. Hourly employees use it to check paychecks; small teams use it to prepare payroll without time-tracking software.

Time card vs. timesheet

A time card records punch times for one person; a timesheet is the broader record of hours, often per project or pay period. In practice the calculators are identical — this tool handles both. If you think in pay periods, the timesheet calculator, biweekly and monthly versions are tuned for that.

Minutes to decimal hours conversion chart

Payroll systems use decimal hours, not minutes. Divide minutes by 60 and round to two decimals — 15 minutes = 0.25, 30 minutes = 0.50, 45 minutes = 0.75. The full chart:

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my work hours on a time card?

Subtract your start time from your end time for each day, subtract unpaid breaks, then add the days together. For example, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid lunch is 7.5 hours; five of those days is 37.5 hours. This calculator does each step automatically and shows totals in both h:mm and decimal hours.

How do I add up hours and minutes for payroll?

Convert minutes to decimal hours before multiplying by a pay rate: divide the minutes by 60. So 8 hours 45 minutes is 8.75 hours, and at $18/hour that is $157.50. The decimal hours calculator includes the full minutes-to-decimal chart.

Is lunch included in hours worked?

Unpaid meal breaks of 30 minutes or more are normally excluded from hours worked, while short rest breaks of 5–20 minutes count as paid time under the FLSA. Enter your unpaid lunch in the Break column and it is deducted automatically — or use the time card calculator with lunch.

When does overtime start?

Under federal law (FLSA), overtime starts after 40 hours in a workweek at 1.5× your regular rate. Some states add daily rules — California pays overtime after 8 hours in a day and double time after 12. Pick your state in the Overtime rules menu and the split is applied for you.

What is the 7-minute rule?

The 7-minute rule comes from rounding time to 15-minute increments: 7 minutes or less rounds down, 8 or more rounds up. Federal rules allow rounding only if it is neutral over time. Choose “Nearest 15 min” in the Rounding menu to apply it.

How many hours is 9 to 5?

9:00 AM to 5:00 PM is 8 hours. With a 30-minute unpaid lunch it is 7.5 paid hours, and with a 1-hour lunch it is 7 paid hours. A standard five-day 9-to-5 week is 40 hours before lunch deductions.

Does this time card calculator store or upload my data?

Nothing you type leaves your browser. Your timesheet autosaves to your device’s local storage so it survives a refresh, and you can clear it with one click. There is no account, no sign-up and no server-side copy — share links encode the data in the link itself.

Can I use this for biweekly or monthly pay periods?

Yes. The biweekly timesheet calculator covers 14-day periods with per-week overtime, and the monthly timesheet calculator handles a full calendar month.
