How to use it

  1. For each day you worked, enter your start and end times and unpaid break minutes. Leave days off blank.
  2. Set the weekly overtime threshold (40 hours is the US federal standard).
  3. Optionally enter your hourly rate and overtime multiplier to estimate gross pay.

Examples

Standard week

Five days of 8:30–17:00 with 30-minute breaks adds up to 40 h 00 min, all regular time.

A long week

Adding a Saturday 9:00–13:00 shift makes 44 hours: 40 regular and 4 overtime. At $20/hour and 1.5×, that's $800 + $120 = $920.

How your hours are totalled

Each shift's length is the end time minus the start time, minus the break. Shifts that end after midnight are handled automatically. The daily totals are then added for the week.

Any hours above your weekly overtime threshold are counted as overtime. This follows the US federal weekly rule; if your state or contract uses daily overtime, check those hours separately.

Frequently asked questions

Should breaks be subtracted from my hours?

Unpaid meal breaks are normally subtracted. Short rest breaks (typically 20 minutes or less in the US) are usually paid and should not be subtracted.

How do I enter a night shift?

Enter the times as they appear on the clock, such as 22:00 to 06:00. The calculator sees that the end is earlier than the start and counts it as an overnight shift.
