Time Card Calculator

Payroll systems multiply rate by decimal hours, and the conversion trips people constantly: 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours, not 7.45. Reading '7:45' and typing '7.45' into a pay calculation shorts the worker 18 minutes. This tool shows both formats so the right one gets copied.

US federal law (FLSA) requires time-and-a-half for hours past 40 in a workweek, which is the default here — and the threshold is editable for other rules. What a weekly calculator can't model: California-style daily overtime (past 8 hours in a day) and double-time; check your state if that applies.

Enter the break in minutes and it's subtracted from that day's total. US norms: short breaks (5–20 minutes) are typically paid working time, while bona fide meal periods of 30+ minutes where you're fully relieved of duty are typically unpaid — that unpaid lunch is what belongs in the break column.

Yes. If clock-out is earlier than clock-in — 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM — the tool assumes the shift crossed midnight and counts it correctly (8.5 hours before breaks). The hours land on the day the shift started, which is the most common payroll convention.
