What Is Time Card Calculator?

The Time Card Calculator computes total working hours and estimated pay from multiple daily time entries. Enter clock-in and clock-out times for each day, specify break durations, and the tool calculates individual daily hours plus a weekly summary. Configure your hourly rate, overtime threshold (default 40 hours), and overtime multiplier (default 1.5x) to see a complete pay breakdown. The summary shows total hours, regular hours, overtime hours, regular pay, overtime pay, and total pay. Add and remove entry rows as needed to match your work schedule. This is essential for hourly workers, freelancers, and managers tracking team hours.

Payroll Verification

Cross-check payroll calculations against actual clock-in/out times.

Contract Workers

Technical Guide

Each row's hours are calculated as (clockOut - clockIn - breakMinutes) / 60, with overnight shifts handled by adding 24 hours when clockOut < clockIn. The total weekly hours are the sum of all row hours. Overtime is calculated as max(0, totalHours - overtimeThreshold). Regular pay = regularHours × hourlyRate. Overtime pay = overtimeHours × hourlyRate × overtimeMultiplier. Total pay = regular + overtime. All calculations use floating-point arithmetic with results rounded to 2 decimal places for display. The dynamic row system uses React state with unique IDs for each entry, allowing insertion and deletion without affecting other rows.

Tips & Best Practices

  • 1
    Enter total combined break time for each day (e.g., lunch + two 15-min breaks = 60 min)
  • 2
    The overtime threshold defaults to 40 hours/week — adjust for your local regulations
  • 3
    Overnight shifts (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM) are handled automatically
  • 4
    Add a row for each day you worked, or split days with multiple entries
  • 5
    The per-row hours help you verify each day before looking at totals

Frequently Asked Questions

Q How is overtime calculated?
Hours beyond the overtime threshold (default 40/week) are multiplied by the overtime rate (default 1.5x the hourly rate).
Q Can I track multiple entries per day?
Yes, add as many rows as needed. Each row is independent with its own date, times, and break duration.
Q Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes, if the clock-out time is before the clock-in time, 24 hours are automatically added to compute the correct duration.
Q Is the pay calculation legally accurate?
The calculations follow standard overtime rules. However, actual payroll may differ due to taxes, deductions, and local labor laws. Always verify with your payroll department.
Q Can I change the overtime threshold?
Yes, the overtime threshold, hourly rate, and overtime multiplier are all configurable to match your employment terms.
