Calculating Work Hours

Enter your start time, end time, and break duration to calculate daily hours. Add multiple days to get your weekly total.

Overtime Rules

Federal law (FLSA) requires overtime pay for hours over 40 per week:

  • Time and a half: 1.5x regular rate for OT hours
  • Some states: Daily OT after 8 hours
  • Double time: 2x rate (varies by state/employer)

Example Calculation

45 hours worked at $20/hour:

  • Regular: 40 hours × $20 = $800
  • Overtime: 5 hours × $30 = $150
  • Total: $950

Time Card Tips

  • Record accurately: Round to nearest 15 minutes consistently
  • Subtract breaks: Deduct unpaid lunch breaks
  • Keep records: Save your timesheets for disputes
