Time Card Calculator
Enter clock-in and clock-out times, break duration, and optional hourly rate to calculate total hours worked and pay for a shift or day.
Time Card Calculator
Work hours and pay from clock times
Worked hours = (clock out − clock in) − break. Pay = worked hours × hourly rate.
How Work Hours Are Calculated
Worked hours = (clock out − clock in) − unpaid break Pay = worked hours × hourly rate
Times are entered in 24-hour format. If you work past midnight, the calculator assumes clock-out is the same day — for overnight shifts, add 24 hours to the clock-out time mentally.
**Overtime**: This calculator shows straight-time hours only. Overtime (typically over 40 hours/week or 8 hours/day) is calculated separately based on your local labor laws.
**Rounding**: Some employers round clock times to the nearest 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Check your employer's policy.
- Worked = (out − in) − break
- Pay = hours × hourly rate
- Overtime not included
- Check your employer's rounding policy
Worked Example
Example: Clock in 9:00 AM, clock out 5:30 PM, 30-min unpaid lunch, $20/hour.
- Elapsed = 8.5 hours - Minus 30-min break = 8.0 hours worked - Pay = 8.0 × $20 = $160

Does this handle overnight shifts?
Not automatically — it assumes clock-out is later the same day. For overnight shifts, treat clock-out as the next calendar day and add 24 hours to the result manually.
Is break time paid?
Usually not — meal breaks (30+ min) are typically unpaid. Short rest breaks (5–20 min) are often paid. Check your employer's policy and local labor laws.
