Time Card Calculator
Add up the hours you work each day into a weekly total for payroll.
A time card calculator adds up the hours you work across several days. Enter the start and end time for each day, take off any unpaid break, and it totals the week. Four 7.5-hour days and one 5.5-hour day come to 35.5 hours. It shows the total as hours and minutes and as decimal hours for payroll. Add or remove days as needed.

About the Time Card Calculator
A time card, or timesheet, records the hours worked across a pay period so they can be totaled for payroll. This calculator gives you a row per day; enter the clock-in and clock-out times and any unpaid break, and it computes that day's hours and keeps a running weekly total. You can add days for a longer period or remove them for a short week. Each day is calculated on its own, so a Friday that ends early or a shift that runs past midnight is handled correctly without affecting the others. The weekly total appears both as hours and minutes and as decimal hours, which is the format payroll uses to multiply by an hourly rate. Two things are worth confirming against your employer's rules. Some workplaces round each clock entry to the nearest five or fifteen minutes before totaling, and some count breaks as paid. This tool subtracts breaks as unpaid and uses the exact times you enter, so adjust the inputs if your policy differs.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add up a weekly time card?+
Enter each day's start and end times and unpaid break. The calculator totals every day's hours into a weekly figure, shown as hours and minutes and as decimal hours.
Does it handle overnight shifts?+
Yes. On any day where the end time is earlier than the start, the calculator treats it as ending the next day and adds 24 hours, so an overnight shift counts correctly.
How are breaks handled?+
Each day's break is entered in minutes and subtracted as unpaid time. If your employer pays for breaks, set the break to 0 so the full span counts.
Why is my total different from my employer's?+
Many employers round clock entries to the nearest 5 or 15 minutes before adding them up. This calculator uses the exact times you enter, so small differences from rounding are normal.
