Key takeaways

  • Overtime is decided inside each workweek — a fixed 7-day cycle your employer sets.
  • Federal overtime: over 40 h/week at 1.5×. California adds daily overtime over 8 h and double time over 12 h.
  • A “40-hour job” with unpaid lunches usually pays 37.5 hours — check your pay stub against this sheet.
  • Switch the week between Monday and Sunday start to match your employer’s workweek.
  • For two-week pay periods use the biweekly calculator — overtime still computes per week.

Compressed schedules: on a 4/10 schedule (four 10-hour days) there is no federal overtime — the week is exactly 40 hours. But in California each of those days includes 2 daily overtime hours unless the employer adopted a valid alternative workweek schedule. Pick the California preset to see that difference instantly.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my weekly timesheet?
Add each day’s paid hours (end − start − unpaid breaks) across the 7-day workweek, then convert to decimal hours for pay. A 8:30 AM–5:00 PM week with 30-minute lunches is 8 hours/day = 40 hours. The calculator totals it live and splits overtime automatically.
How many hours is a normal work week?
A standard full-time week in the US is 40 hours — eight hours a day, five days. Federal overtime starts beyond 40 hours in a single workweek. Many “9-to-5 with unpaid lunch” schedules are actually 37.5 paid hours.
What counts as one workweek for overtime?
A workweek is any fixed, recurring 168-hour period (7 consecutive 24-hour days) set by the employer — it doesn’t have to be Monday–Sunday. Overtime is computed inside each workweek separately; you can switch this sheet between Monday and Sunday starts.
Does overtime carry over between weeks?
No. Federal overtime is strictly per workweek: 45 hours one week and 35 the next means 5 overtime hours for the first week, even though the two-week average is 40. Averaging across weeks is not allowed for non-exempt employees.
Can I save my weekly timesheet?
It autosaves to your browser as you type — come back tomorrow and the week is still here. You can also print it, download PDF, Excel, CSV or TXT, or copy a share link — all free.
