Time Card Estimate

Calculate daily hours, weekly hours, estimated gross pay, and weekly overtime from start times, end times, and breaks.

How this time card estimate works

Enter each day's start time, end time, and unpaid break minutes. The calculator subtracts breaks, adds daily hours, totals the week, and estimates overtime hours above 40.

If you enter an hourly rate, the gross pay estimate uses regular pay for up to 40 hours and 1.5x pay for overtime hours. Your employer may use different rounding, workweek, or overtime rules.

Example time card calculation

If you work 8 hours Monday through Friday with no weekend hours, weekly total hours are 40. If your hourly rate is $25, estimated gross pay is $1,000.

If your weekly total is 45 hours at $25 per hour, the estimate treats 40 hours as regular pay and 5 hours as overtime at 1.5x, for an estimated gross pay of $1,187.50.

When the estimate may be wrong

  • Your employer rounds time punches.
  • Your workweek does not match Monday through Sunday.
  • Breaks are paid instead of unpaid.
  • Overtime rules differ because of location, job type, agreement, or policy.
  • Payroll records include corrections, premiums, tips, bonuses, or shift differentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this time card calculator handle breaks?

Yes. Enter break minutes for each day and the calculator subtracts them from that day's worked time.

Can it estimate weekly overtime?

Yes. It estimates overtime hours above 40 in the week, using a simple weekly overtime assumption.

Does it work for overnight shifts?

Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator treats the shift as crossing midnight.

Is the gross pay estimate exact?

No. It is a simple estimate and may differ from payroll because of rounding, premiums, deductions, and employer rules.

Should I compare this with my time clock?

Yes. Use the estimate to check your math, then compare it with official timekeeping and payroll records.
