Time card calculator with lunch

Set a default unpaid lunch or break in minutes and it is taken off every day automatically. Change any single day if a break ran long or was skipped. A 7:00 to 3:30 shift with a 30-minute lunch is 8:00 hours. Split shifts get a second clock-in and clock-out.

Bi-weekly time card calculator

Switch to bi-weekly to fill in 14 days at once. Overtime is still worked out one week at a time, the way the federal rule requires, and you get a total for each week plus the whole pay period.

Bi-weekly guide

Time card calculator with overtime

Hours over 40 in a week are split out as overtime and paid at the rate you choose: time and a half, double time or your own policy. Pick your state or province, or enter your union agreement, and its rules are applied: daily overtime in California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado, and every Canadian province and territory, including BC double time and Alberta’s 8/44 rule.

How overtime is calculated

Hours and minutes, and decimals

Every total shows as hours:minutes (7:45) and as decimal hours (7.75). Payroll software wants the decimal, and people want the clock time. To convert by hand, divide minutes by 60.

Time card calculator with holiday pay

Tick Holiday on a statutory holiday and those hours are paid at your holiday rate, 1.5× by default. They are kept out of the overtime count so they are never paid a double premium.

03 — Timesheets

A timesheet payroll won’t send back.

A good time sheet answers every question before it is asked: who worked, when, where, and how much of it was overtime. The calculator builds one for you, ready to print, sign or download.

  1. Pay period. The start and end dates, weekly or bi-weekly, lined up with your employer’s workweek.
  2. Who and where. Employee name, the company or client, and the job or site for each day.
  3. Every punch. Clock-in and clock-out for each shift, including split shifts and nights.
  4. Breaks. Unpaid lunch taken off each day. Short paid breaks stay in the hours.
  5. Totals. Hours as hours:minutes and decimals, split into regular time, overtime and double time.
  6. Sign-off. Employee and supervisor signatures and dates, so nobody argues about it later.

Weekly or bi-weekly

Match the workweek.

Fill one sheet per pay period. Overtime is counted per 7-day workweek, so a bi-weekly timesheet still needs a total for each week.

Record keeping

Keep them for years.

US employers keep time cards at least 2 years and payroll records 3 years (FLSA). Ontario employers keep records of hours for 3 years. Workers should keep their own copies too.

Paper, PDF or CSV

Any format works.

The law does not require a particular form, only accurate records. Print and sign, send a PDF, or load the CSV into Excel, Google Sheets or your payroll software.

04 — Payroll

From time card to payday.

Hours are only half the job. Here is how a timesheet turns into money in the bank, and what comes off along the way.

  1. 1Track

    Record clock-in, clock-out and breaks every day, on the job, not from memory on Friday.

  2. 2Review & approve

    The foreperson or supervisor checks the hours and signs off before the payroll cut-off.

  3. 3Gross pay

    Regular hours × rate, plus overtime, double time, holiday and shift premiums, plus vacation pay where it is paid on each cheque.

  4. 4Deduct & pay

    Taxes and contributions come off gross pay to get net pay, which is deposited on payday with a pay statement.

United States

Gross to net

  • Federal income tax withheld based on your W-4.
  • Social Security 6.2% up to the yearly wage base, and Medicare 1.45% (plus 0.9% on wages over $200,000). Your employer pays a matching share.
  • State and local income tax in most states.
  • Other deductions such as union dues, benefits and retirement plans.

Canada

Gross to net

  • Federal and provincial income tax based on your TD1 forms.
  • CPP contributions (QPP in Quebec), which your employer matches.
  • EI premiums; your employer pays 1.4 times your amount.
  • Other deductions such as union dues and field assessments, which on construction wage sheets come off the hourly wage.
Gross pay
Everything earned in the pay period before any deductions.
Net pay
What is deposited after taxes, contributions and other deductions.
Workweek
A fixed, recurring 7-day period set by the employer. Overtime is counted per workweek.
Regular rate
The hourly rate overtime is based on. It can include some bonuses and premiums.
Vacation pay
A percentage of wages, at least 4% in Ontario (6% after five years). Construction agreements often pay 10% or more on every cheque.
Pay statement
The pay stub showing hours, rates, gross pay, deductions and net pay. Ontario requires one each payday.

05 — By hand

How to calculate a time card by hand.

  1. Find the shift length. Subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time. 7:15 AM to 4:00 PM is 8 hours 45 minutes.
  2. Take off unpaid breaks. Subtract lunch and any other unpaid breaks. 8:45 minus a 30-minute lunch is 8:15.
  3. Convert to decimal. Divide the minutes by 60 and add them to the hours. 8:15 becomes 8.25 hours.
  4. Add up the week. Total every day. Anything over 40 hours is usually overtime under the US federal rule.
  5. Work out gross pay. Regular hours × rate, plus overtime hours × rate × 1.5. 44 hours at $30 is 40 × $30 + 4 × $45 = $1,380.

07 — Questions

Questions.

How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60. 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes is 0.50, and 45 minutes is 0.75. So 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. The calculator shows both formats for every day and for the total.

How is weekly overtime calculated?

Under the US federal rule (FLSA), hours over 40 in a 7-day workweek are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate. In bi-weekly mode each week is checked separately, so 45 hours in week one and 35 in week two still gives 5 overtime hours. Choose your state to add daily overtime where it applies.

Does the calculator handle overnight shifts?

Yes. If the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the shift is treated as crossing midnight. 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM counts as 8 hours before breaks.

How does holiday pay work in this calculator?

Tick Holiday on any day worked on a holiday. Those hours are paid at the holiday multiplier you choose (1.5× by default) and are kept out of the overtime count so they are not paid a double premium. Employer policies vary, so check yours.

Which states have daily overtime?

California (over 8 hours a day, double time over 12), Alaska (over 8 hours a day), Nevada (over 8 hours a day for workers paid under $18.00 an hour) and Colorado (over 12 hours a day). Every other state uses the 40-hour week. Pick your state in the calculator and it applies the right rule.

Does it work in Canada?

Yes. Switch the country to Canada and choose your province or territory, or “Federally regulated workplace” for banks, airlines and other federal employers. Pay is shown in Canadian dollars. Every province is included, from BC’s double time after 12 hours to Nova Scotia’s 48-hour week and PEI’s new 44-hour limit.

Can I use my union’s overtime rules?

Yes. Set Overtime rules to Union agreement and enter your collective agreement’s terms: overtime after so many hours a day or a week, time and a half or double time, double time after a set number of hours, and Saturday or Sunday premiums. Common patterns, such as double time after 8 hours a day or 40 a week, are built in as starting points, and you can add your local's name to the timesheet.

What should a timesheet include?

The pay period dates, the employee and employer names, the job or site, clock-in and clock-out times for every shift, unpaid breaks, daily and weekly totals split into regular time and overtime, and signatures from the employee and supervisor. The calculator’s PDF and printout include all of these.

How long should timesheets be kept?

In the US, employers must keep time cards for at least 2 years and payroll records for 3 years under the FLSA. In Ontario, employers keep records of hours worked for 3 years. Keep your own copies as well; a PDF or CSV from the calculator is an easy way to do that.

What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?

Gross pay is everything you earned before deductions: regular pay, overtime, premiums and vacation pay paid on the cheque. Net pay is what is left after income tax, Social Security and Medicare (US) or CPP and EI (Canada), union dues and other deductions. The calculator shows gross pay.

Does it handle split shifts or two jobs in one day?

Yes. Tap “+ Split” on any day to add a second clock-in and clock-out, each with its own job or site. Both are added together before overtime is worked out.
