Time Card Calculator
Add up a full week of shifts with breaks, and add an hourly rate for gross weekly pay.
Fill in a start and an end for any day to see the weekly total.
How to use the time card calculator
Each row is one day of the week. Enter the start time, the end time, and any unpaid break in minutes. Days you leave blank are skipped, so you can fill in only the days you worked. The weekly total updates as you type.
Add an hourly rate at the bottom and the tool also shows gross pay for the week. For a single shift rather than a full week, the work hours calculator does the same math for one day.
Totaling a week of shifts
The tool works out the net hours for each day, subtracts the break, then adds the days into one weekly figure. It shows the total as hours and minutes and as decimal hours, with a count of how many days were included.
Decimal hours are what most payroll systems want, since pay is the decimal total times the rate. If you would rather stack shifts freely instead of by weekday, the hours calculator lets you add as many entries as you like.
Overnight shifts and breaks
Any day can run past midnight. When a day's end time is earlier than its start time, the tool reads it as an overnight shift and counts the hours through midnight, so a 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM night counts as 8 hours on that day.
Breaks come off each day before the totals are added. If a day's break is longer than its hours, the tool flags it so you can fix the typo. For the gap on a single day without a break, the time duration calculator is quicker.
Who uses a weekly time card
Hourly workers fill one in to check a paycheck against the week they worked. Shift managers add up a rota before they submit it. Freelancers track a week of billable time across several days in one place.
The pay figure is gross, before tax and deductions, so treat it as the starting point rather than take-home. For converting an hourly wage into a yearly figure, the salary calculator handles that step.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I add up a week of hours?
- Enter the start, end, and break for each day you worked. The tool finds the net hours per day and adds them into one weekly total, shown as hours and minutes and as decimal hours.
- Do I have to fill in every day?
- No. Any day left blank is skipped. Fill in only the days you worked, and the weekly total counts just those days.
- How is weekly pay calculated?
- Add an hourly rate and the tool multiplies your decimal weekly hours by it. The result is gross pay, before tax and other deductions, so your take-home will be lower.
- Can a day run past midnight?
- Yes. When a day's end time is earlier than its start time, the tool treats it as an overnight shift and counts through midnight. So 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM is 8 hours that day.
- What if I enter a break longer than the shift?
- The tool flags that day so you can correct it, since a break longer than the hours worked usually means a typo. Once fixed, the day counts toward the weekly total.
