Timesheet Calculator
Enter clock-in, clock-out, and unpaid break times for each day of the week to get total hours, decimal hours, and gross pay with optional overtime over 40 hours at 1.5x.
Timesheet Calculator
Weekly Timesheet
Enter clock-in, clock-out, and unpaid break minutes for each day. Leave a day blank for a day off. If clock-out is earlier than clock-in, the day is treated as an overnight shift.
One or more days have an unpaid break longer than the shift. Those days are counted as 0 hours.

Overtime
Gross pay before taxes. Federal tax, state tax, FICA, and deductions still come out.

How to use the weekly timesheet calculator
Start with the timesheet grid. For each day you worked, set a clock-in time and a clock-out time using the time pickers. Your browser shows them in 12-hour or 24-hour format depending on your system settings.
Next, add unpaid break minutes for that day. A 30-minute unpaid lunch is entered as 30. Paid short breaks do not get entered, since they already count as worked time.
Leave a day blank for a day off. A day with no clock-in or no clock-out contributes 0 hours and never blocks the rest of the week.
Set your hourly rate once and it applies to all days. As you type, each day shows its hours in hours:minutes and decimal form, and the results panel updates the weekly total, regular and overtime hours, and gross pay.
Hours and minutes vs. decimal hours
A clock shows time as hours and minutes, but payroll multiplies pay rate by decimal hours. To convert, divide the minutes by 60.
So 8 hours and 30 minutes becomes 8 + (30 / 60), which is 8.50. At $20 per hour that is $170.00 for the day. Using 8.30 by mistake would shortchange the math.
Here is a quick reference for common minute values:
- 10 minutes = 0.17 hours
- 15 minutes = 0.25 hours
- 20 minutes = 0.33 hours
- 30 minutes = 0.50 hours
- 45 minutes = 0.75 hours
- 50 minutes = 0.83 hours
How overtime works on a timesheet
The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires overtime for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. The rate is at least 1.5 times the regular hourly rate, often called time and a half.
Federal law sets a weekly threshold, not a daily one. This calculator follows that rule: it adds up all seven days first, then treats the first 40 hours as regular and anything above 40 as overtime.
That is why you can work four 11-hour days, total 44 hours, and still get 4 overtime hours even though no single day passed a daily limit. Some states add their own daily overtime rules, so check local law if you work in a state like California.
With the overtime toggle off, every hour is paid at the regular rate and overtime hours show as 0.
From timesheet to take-home pay
Gross pay is the starting point, not the amount that lands in your account. Federal income tax, state income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and any benefit deductions still come out before take-home pay.
If you work more than one job, each timesheet only tells part of the story. ClockWage44 is built for that: it logs shifts across as many jobs as you want and runs federal tax, state tax, FICA, overtime rules, and deductions into a take-home figure calculated to the cent, all on-device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about timesheet calculator
How do I calculate total hours on a weekly timesheet?
For each day, subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time, then subtract any unpaid break minutes. That gives you worked minutes for the day. Add up all seven days and divide by 60 to get total hours. This calculator does that automatically as you type and shows the weekly total in both hours:minutes and decimal form.
How do I convert timesheet hours and minutes into decimal hours for payroll?
Divide the minutes by 60 and add the result to the whole hours. For example, 8 hours 30 minutes is 8 + (30 / 60), which equals 8.50 decimal hours. Payroll systems multiply decimal hours by the hourly rate, so 8:15 becomes 8.25 and 8:45 becomes 8.75.
Should unpaid lunch breaks be subtracted from my timesheet hours?
Yes. Under the FLSA, bona fide meal periods (typically 30 minutes or longer) are not counted as hours worked, so unpaid lunch breaks should be subtracted. Short rest breaks of 5 to 20 minutes are generally treated as paid work time. Enter only your unpaid break minutes in the break field for each day.
How does this calculator handle an overnight shift that crosses midnight?
If the clock-out time is earlier than or equal to the clock-in time, the tool treats it as an overnight shift and adds 24 hours before computing duration. A shift from 22:00 to 06:00 is counted as 8 hours. If clock-in exactly equals clock-out, the day is treated as 0 hours rather than a full 24, to avoid accidental entries.
When does overtime apply on a weekly timesheet, and how is it calculated?
Under the FLSA, overtime applies to hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek and is paid at no less than 1.5 times the regular rate. This calculator computes overtime on the weekly total, not per day: regular hours are the first 40, and overtime hours are anything above that. Overtime pay equals overtime hours times rate times the multiplier.
What is the difference between hours:minutes and decimal hours on a time card?
Hours:minutes (such as 8:30) is how clocks display time. Decimal hours (such as 8.50) is how payroll multiplies time by a pay rate. The minute portion is a fraction of an hour: 15 minutes is 0.25, 30 minutes is 0.50, and 45 minutes is 0.75. This tool shows both so you can match your time card to a paycheck.
Is this timesheet calculator free, and is my data saved anywhere?
It is free to use, and nothing is saved. All calculations run in your browser as you type, and no clock times, rates, or pay figures are sent to a server or stored. Refreshing the page clears every entry.
Can I use this calculator for a biweekly or monthly timesheet?
The grid covers one workweek of seven days, which matches how the FLSA defines overtime. For a biweekly period, run each week separately so overtime is calculated correctly per week, then add the two gross-pay figures. Combining two weeks into one 40-hour threshold would understate overtime.
