Calculate work hours, overtime, and total pay easily. Enter clock-in and clock-out times for each day, add unpaid breaks, and get instant results including decimal hours for payroll processing.
This calculator computes daily work hours by calculating the time difference between Clock In and Clock Out, then subtracting unpaid lunch breaks. The formula is:
Weekly totals are then calculated. Overtime is any time worked beyond the threshold (typically 40 hours), paid at 1.5× the regular rate.
| Day | Clock In | Lunch Out | Lunch In | Clock Out | Hours Worked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 9:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 17:00 | 7.0 |
| Tuesday | 9:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 17:00 | 7.0 |
| Wednesday | 9:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 17:00 | 7.0 |
| Thursday | 9:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 17:00 | 7.0 |
| Friday | 9:00 | 12:00 | 13:00 | 17:00 | 7.0 |
| Total | 35.0 hours | ||||
❓ What is the difference between clock time and decimal time?
Clock time uses hours and minutes (e.g., 8:30). Decimal time converts minutes to hundredths for payroll (8:30 = 8.5 hours). Our calculator provides both formats.
❓ How is overtime calculated?
Under FLSA, overtime is any time worked over 40 hours in a workweek, paid at 1.5× the regular rate. Some states have daily overtime thresholds (e.g., over 8 hours/day).
❓ What about unpaid meal breaks?
Meal breaks of 30 minutes or more are typically unpaid if the employee is completely relieved of duties. Our calculator subtracts lunch break automatically.
❓ How to round time for payroll?
Federal law allows rounding to the nearest 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Common practice: round to quarter hours (7:53 = 8:00, 8:07 = 8:00).
❓ What if I work different hours each day?
This calculator allows different times for each day of the week. Simply enter your actual clock in/out times for accurate tracking.
💡 Pro Tips for Accurate Time Tracking:
• Use the 7-minute rounding rule: round down 1-7 minutes, round up 8-14 minutes
• Always record exact clock in/out times to avoid wage disputes
• Keep digital or paper backup of timesheets
• Review weekly totals before submitting payroll
