Track the Hours You Actually Worked
Whether you clock in at a register, sign into a laptop, or start a shift on a job site, the question at the end of the week is the same: how many hours did I actually work? This work hours calculator answers it in seconds. Enter each day's start and end time, take out unpaid breaks, and the daily and weekly totals appear as you type, in the decimal format payroll systems use.
It handles the cases that trip up mental math: shifts that cross midnight, breaks that split a day, minutes that need converting to decimals (7:45 is 7.75 hours, not 7.45), and time clock rounding to the nearest 5, 6, or 15 minutes.
From Hours to a Finished Timesheet
When your week is entered, you can download a professional PDF timesheet, export a CSV for spreadsheets, or print directly. Add your hourly rate to see gross pay with overtime at 1.5×, applied per week or per day depending on your state's rules. If you need the two-week version, use the bi-weekly time card calculator, and if you record hours on paper first, grab a free printable timesheet template.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my work hours?
Enter your start time, end time, and any unpaid break for each day you worked. The calculator subtracts breaks, handles overnight shifts, and totals your hours for the day and the week automatically.
How are work hours converted for payroll?
Payroll uses decimal hours: minutes are divided by 60, so 7 hours 30 minutes becomes 7.50 hours. This calculator shows all totals in decimal form, ready to multiply by an hourly rate.
Can it calculate my weekly pay?
Yes. Add an optional hourly rate and the calculator shows your total pay, including overtime at 1.5× for hours over your weekly or daily threshold.
Are my work hours saved?
Your entries are saved automatically in your own browser, so they are still there when you come back. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
