How do I input a shift that ends the next day?

Simply enter the times as they occurred. If your start time is 10:00 PM and your end time is 6:00 AM, the tool automatically detects that the shift crossed midnight and calculates 8 hours (minus breaks).

Why is there a 'Decimal Hours' result?

Most professional payroll systems and accounting software (like QuickBooks or Xero) require hours in decimal format (e.g., 7.5 instead of 7h 30m) for calculation. We provide both for your convenience.

Can I track more than 7 days?

While the UI is optimized for a standard 7-day week, you can add as many days as you need by clicking the 'Add Day' button. The layout will expand to accommodate your entries.

Is my data saved for next time?

For security and privacy, we do not save any payroll data on our servers. Once you close or refresh the page, the information is cleared. We recommend copying your result before exit.

Time Card Calculator Overview

Calculate total work hours and pay

The **Time Card Calculator** is a comprehensive solution for freelancers, contractors, and employees who need to track and calculate their labor hours. Manual timekeeping is prone to errors—especially when dealing with AM/PM transitions, varied break times, and decimal hour conversions. This tool automates the math, allowing you to focus on your work. You can log up to 7 distinct entries (representing a full work week), specify break durations in minutes, and even calculate your **Gross Pay** by providing an hourly rate. It supports overnight shifts (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM) automatically, making it perfect for night-shift workers and emergency response personnel.

How to Use Time Card Calculator

Optionally enter your **Hourly Rate** to see your total earnings.
For each day, input the **Start Time** and **End Time** using the time pickers.
Enter the duration of your **Unpaid Break** in minutes (defaults to 30).
Click **Add Day** to track more shifts in your current session.
Review the summary at the bottom for total hours, decimal equivalents, and gross pay.
