Free Time Card Calculator

A free time card calculator totals work hours from clock-in, clock-out, and break entries, then separates regular, overtime, and double-time hours for payroll planning. Use it to estimate weekly timesheet hours, gross pay, and a copy-ready payroll summary before running payroll.

It is built for quick weekly checks: add shifts, subtract unpaid breaks, compare regular and overtime hours, and copy a clean summary for payroll notes.

Weekly timesheet

How the time card calculator works

1

Enter each workday

Add clock-in and clock-out times for every day in the workweek. Leave a day blank if no work was performed.

2

Subtract unpaid breaks

Enter lunch or unpaid break minutes for each shift so the calculator can total paid hours instead of raw time on site.

3

Set the pay rules

Add the hourly rate, overtime threshold, overtime multiplier, and optional double-time threshold for the payroll scenario you want to estimate.

4

Review payroll totals

Use the regular, overtime, double-time, gross pay, and copyable summary sections to prepare timesheet notes before running payroll.

Timesheet notes

This tool estimates hours and gross pay only. It does not decide whether someone is exempt, calculate exact tax withholding, file payroll forms, or replace local wage-law guidance.

Household employers should keep the original time records, confirm the applicable overtime rules, and use a payroll provider or accountant for final paychecks and filings.

Time card calculator FAQ

What is a time card calculator?

A time card calculator totals paid work hours from clock-in, clock-out, and break entries. It helps workers and employers convert a weekly timesheet into regular hours, overtime hours, and estimated gross pay.

How do I calculate hours worked with lunch breaks?

Subtract unpaid break minutes from the shift length. For example, 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM is 8.5 hours on site; a 30-minute unpaid lunch turns that into 8.0 paid hours.

Does this calculator handle overnight shifts?

Yes. If the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the calculator treats the shift as ending the next day and totals the overnight hours.

When do weekly hours become overtime?

Under federal FLSA rules, non-exempt employees generally earn overtime after 40 hours in a workweek. Some states and contracts add daily overtime rules, so confirm the rules that apply before using any estimate for payroll.

Can household employers use this for nanny or caregiver payroll?

Yes. Families can use this as a planning worksheet for nanny, caregiver, or household employee hours, then pair it with a paycheck calculator or payroll provider for exact tax withholding and filings.
