Timesheet calculator with lunch breaks

Enter when you started, when you finished and how long your unpaid lunch was, for each day. This timesheet calculator subtracts the break, handles night shifts that run past midnight, and adds up the week in decimal hours for payroll — the example week comes to 43.50 hours.

Overtime calculator: federal and California rules

Pick the rule that applies. Federal law pays overtime only past 40 hours a week. California also pays daily overtime past 8 hours, double time past 12, and special rates on the seventh straight day of the workweek, without ever paying the same hour twice. With an hourly rate, the calculator turns the split into gross pay: regular hours at the rate, overtime at 1.5× and double time at 2×.

Hours calculator for payroll

Payroll needs decimal hours, not hours and minutes: 8:25 is 8.42 hours, not 8.25. This hours calculator shows both, and the CSV download gives your manager or payroll software every day’s start, end, break and totals in one file.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate hours worked with a lunch break?
Subtract the start time from the end time, then subtract the unpaid break. 8:00 am to 5:00 pm is 9 hours; minus a 30-minute lunch it is 8.5 hours. Enter each day’s start, end and break in minutes, and the calculator totals the week — including shifts that cross midnight, like 10 pm to 6:30 am.
How do I convert hours and minutes to decimal hours for payroll?
Divide the minutes by 60 and add them to the hours: 8 hours 25 minutes is 8 + 25 ÷ 60 = 8.42 hours. Payroll systems multiply decimal hours by the pay rate, so the calculator shows both forms — 8:25 and 8.42 — for every day and the week.
How is overtime calculated?
Under federal law (the FLSA) non-exempt employees earn 1.5 times their rate for hours over 40 in a workweek; there is no federal daily overtime. California adds daily rules: 1.5× for hours over 8 in a day up to 12, 2× over 12, and on the seventh consecutive workday 1.5× for the first 8 hours and 2× after that. An hour is never paid overtime twice. Choose the rule that applies to you; some other states have their own.
In the example, why is there overtime when no single day is over 40 hours?
Overtime is weekly under federal rules. The example week is 8.5 + 10 + 8.5 + 8.5 + 8 = 43.5 hours, so the last 3.5 hours are overtime: 40 hours at $20 ($800) plus 3.5 hours at $30 ($105), $905 in total. Under California rules the same week also has 3.5 overtime hours, but they come from the days over 8 hours instead.
Is rounding time punches legal?
Federal rules allow rounding clock times to the nearest 5 minutes, tenth of an hour or quarter hour, as long as it averages out and does not consistently favour the employer (29 CFR 785.48). Rounding to the quarter hour is often called the 7-minute rule: 8:07 rounds to 8:00 and 8:08 to 8:15. Leave rounding off to see exact hours.
Is my time card saved or uploaded?
Your week is saved only in this browser, so it is still here when you come back; Clear removes it. Nothing is uploaded — the calculations run inside this page, everything you enter never leaves your browser, and there is no sign-up or analytics. That is enforced rather than promised: this site’s test suite scans the shipped HTML for every browser API capable of sending data off the page and fails the build if it finds one.
