Weekly hours & pay

In short

A weekly time card totals the hours worked from each day's clock-in and clock-out times, minus unpaid breaks. Enter your daily times and break minutes and this calculator returns daily and weekly totals in hours, minutes and decimal hours, with optional pay — overnight shifts handled.

Weekly time card & work hours

Fill in your clock-in and clock-out times for each day, subtract any unpaid break minutes, and this time card calculator totals your daily and weekly hours. Add an hourly rate and it also works out your gross pay for the week.

Times use the 24-hour clock, and overnight shifts that cross midnight are handled — an out time earlier than the in time is treated as the next morning. Leave a day blank and it's simply skipped.

Tip: Enter break time in minutes (for example 30 or 60); it's subtracted from that day's paid hours.

Decimal hours for payroll

Totals are shown in hours and minutes and as decimal hours, the format most payroll systems use — 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5 decimal hours. That makes it easy to check a paycheque or submit a timesheet.

Reading your timesheet correctly

Small details decide what a timesheet actually pays. Unpaid breaks must be subtracted from each shift, overnight shifts that cross midnight have to roll into the next day, and most payroll systems expect decimal hours rather than hours-and-minutes — 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5, not 7.30. Overtime rules, rounding to the nearest quarter-hour, and whether breaks are paid all vary by employer and jurisdiction, so treat the weekly total here as an accurate base figure and apply your own overtime rules on top.

FAQ

Common questions

How do I calculate my weekly work hours?
Enter each day's clock-in and clock-out times and any unpaid break minutes. The calculator totals daily hours and adds them into a weekly total in hours, minutes and decimal hours.
Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes. If the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, it's treated as the following morning, so shifts that cross midnight total correctly.
How is pay calculated?
Enter an hourly rate and the calculator multiplies it by your total weekly hours to estimate gross pay, before tax and deductions.
What are decimal hours?
Minutes expressed as a fraction of an hour — 30 minutes is 0.5 — which is the format most payroll and timesheet systems expect.
