What Is a Time Card Calculator?
This weekly time card calculator totals your hours across each day of the week from clock-in and clock-out times, calculates overtime (hours beyond 40 per week under standard US rules), and estimates gross pay.
How to Use the Time Card Calculator
- Enter clock-in and clock-out times for each day worked.
- Enter your hourly rate.
- View total hours, regular vs. overtime breakdown, and gross pay.
Overtime Formula
Worked Example
Regular hours: 40 × $20 = $800
Overtime hours: 5 × $30 (1.5× rate) = $150
Gross pay: $800 + $150 = $950
Understanding Your Results
Regular Hours are paid at your standard rate, up to 40 hours per week. Overtime Hours (anything beyond 40) are calculated at 1.5× your regular rate under standard US federal overtime rules — check your specific state and employer policies, since some have different thresholds or rates.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Forgetting to account for unpaid breaks when calculating actual hours worked.
- Assuming overtime rules are the same everywhere — some states and countries have different overtime thresholds and rates.

Subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time for each day, then sum all days for your weekly total — this calculator does that automatically.
