About the Time Card Calculator
A time card calculator helps you total a workweek by subtracting unpaid breaks and separating regular and overtime hours. POSLATOR also estimates gross pay from an hourly rate.
How to use this calculator
- Enter your hourly rate.
- For each workday, enter the start time, end time, and unpaid break minutes.
- Check the calculated hours for each day and the weekly total.
- Review regular hours, overtime hours, and estimated gross pay.
How the calculation works
For each day, the calculator finds the time between start and end, subtracts the unpaid break, and adds the result to the weekly total. Up to 40 weekly hours are treated as regular hours and hours above 40 as overtime at 1.5 times the rate.
Example
A shift from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break equals 8 hours worked. Five identical weekdays total 40 hours.
Things to keep in mind
- Enter unpaid breaks in minutes rather than hours.
- The default overtime rule is a simple 40-hour weekly estimate and may not match every employer or jurisdiction.
- Overnight shifts are supported when the end time is earlier than the start time.
- Check your employer's timekeeping and overtime rules for payroll purposes.
