How to add up a weekly time card

For each day, take the time from start to finish and subtract that day's unpaid break. Add the days together for the weekly total. Days left empty are skipped.

The overtime threshold splits that total: hours up to the threshold are regular time, and anything above it is overtime. It starts at 40 hours; change it to match your workplace. The calculator does not decide who is owed overtime pay.

Reproduce a mixed week

This is a constructed example, not a user record. Enter the following shifts; leave Saturday and Sunday entirely blank. Select Ends next day only for Tuesday.

  • Monday: 09:00 → 18:00; break 30 minutes; net 8h 30m.
  • Tuesday: 22:30 → next-day 06:30; break 45 minutes; net 7h 15m.
  • Wednesday: 09:00 → 17:30; break 30 minutes; net 8h.
  • Thursday: 08:00 → 19:00; break 60 minutes; net 10h.
  • Friday: 09:00 → 18:15; break 30 minutes; net 8h 45m.

Add exact net minutes: 510 + 435 + 480 + 600 + 525 = 2,550 minutes = 42 hours 30 minutes (42.50 decimal hours). Breaks total 195 minutes, or 3 hours 15 minutes. At a 40-hour threshold, regular time is 40 hours and the excess is 2 hours 30 minutes. Change the threshold to 37.5: regular time becomes 37 hours 30 minutes and the excess 5 hours; net work stays 42 hours 30 minutes. Decimal rounding is for display, not for summing the week.

A blank row is skipped; a row with only a start time is incomplete and must be corrected before the final summary. If Tuesday's break is accidentally 600 minutes, correct the break to 45 and recalculate. Copy result takes the daily detail and totals as text. Reset clears the week; Undo reset restores the previous entries while that snapshot remains in this tab.

What it does not do

  • Each day holds one shift and one total break.
  • A shift that runs past midnight needs Ends next day.
  • It does not work out pay, hourly rates, tax or holidays, and it keeps no employee records. Decimal hours are rounded to two places; the hours-and-minutes and total-minute figures are exact.
  • Times are read as they appear on a clock, without time zones or daylight-saving changes.

Frequently asked questions

Is overtime pay calculated?

No. The calculator only splits time at the weekly threshold you choose. Pay rules depend on your contract and where you work.

How do I enter a split shift?

Each day takes one shift, so enter the first start and the last end and count the gap as break. 9:00 to 13:00 and 14:00 to 18:00 becomes 9:00 to 18:00 with a 60-minute break.
