About the Time Card Calculator
This calculator adds up a week's worth of daily hours, splits them into regular and overtime, and works out total pay at your hourly rate — the same math a payroll system runs, done manually for a quick check.
Hourly employees use it to verify a paycheck looks right before it's deposited, managers use it to estimate weekly labor cost across a team, and freelancers or contractors use it to total up billable hours logged day by day.
Enter each day's hours as a comma-separated list and an hourly rate, and it totals the week, splits out anything past 40 hours as overtime, and shows exactly how much of the total pay comes from each.
How it’s calculated
Under the standard overtime rule this calculator applies, the first 40 hours in a week are paid at your regular rate, and anything beyond 40 hours is paid at 1.5× that rate (time-and-a-half) — a common baseline under US federal overtime law for non-exempt employees, though some states and specific job categories have different or additional rules.
Total pay is the sum of regular hours times the regular rate, plus overtime hours times 1.5 times the regular rate — the breakdown shown separates these two pieces so you can see exactly how much of your paycheck came from overtime specifically.
Frequently asked questions
When does overtime pay kick in?
This calculator uses the common federal threshold of 40 hours in a week — hours beyond that are calculated at 1.5× your regular rate. Some states set different or additional overtime rules (like daily overtime past 8 hours), so check your local labor law if your situation might differ.
How do I enter hours for a day I didn't work?
Enter 0 for that day in the comma-separated list, or simply omit it — either way, the total and overtime split will only reflect the hours you actually enter.
Does this account for taxes or deductions?
No — this calculates gross pay only, before any tax withholding, insurance deductions, or other paycheck adjustments. The number shown is what you earned before deductions, not your take-home pay.
Can I use this for a pay period longer than one week?
The overtime threshold here is based on a single 40-hour week, so for accurate overtime calculation, run each week separately rather than entering a full pay period's hours all at once — combining two weeks into one entry would miscalculate the overtime split.
