Overtime rate is 1.5× for hours beyond 8 hrs/day. Taxes and deductions not included.

Work four ten-hour days, take Friday off, and you have put in exactly 40 hours, which sounds like a week with no overtime. This calculator will flag 8 of those hours as overtime anyway, because it applies the overtime threshold to each day on its own rather than to the week. That is how some employers and some states pay, and it is not how everyone does, so it is worth knowing before you trust the pay figure.

Daily hours, daily overtime, then pay

For each day the page converts the clocks to minutes since midnight and works out worked minutes = clock out - clock in - unpaid break. If that comes out negative the page adds 24 hours, treating the shift as overnight. Then regular minutes = the smaller of worked minutes and the overtime threshold, and overtime minutes = worked minutes - threshold, but never below zero. The threshold is the 'overtime after' box (default 8) multiplied by 60.

Across the week it adds up the regular and overtime minutes separately. Gross pay = regular hours x rate + overtime hours x rate x 1.5. Hours are minutes / 60, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours, not 7.45. The grid shows hours and minutes; the summary shows two-decimal hours; money is shown rounded to the cent at the very end.

Here is a full week at $18.50 an hour with overtime after 8 hours a day. Monday to Thursday: in at 8:00 AM, out at 6:30 PM, 30-minute break, which is 600 minutes or 10 hours a day. Each of those days splits into 480 regular and 120 overtime minutes. Friday: 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM with no break is 240 regular minutes. Totals: regular 4 x 480 + 240 = 2,160 minutes = 36.00 hours, overtime 4 x 120 = 480 minutes = 8.00 hours, together 44.00 hours. Pay: 36 x 18.50 = $666.00, plus 8 x 27.75 = $222.00, for a gross of $888.00.

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Type your hourly rate, for example 18.50.
  2. Set 'Overtime after (hrs/day)'. The default is 8, and the overtime rate is fixed at 1.5 times your rate.
  3. For each day, enter the clock-in and clock-out times in the time fields. Leave a day blank if you did not work it.
  4. Enter unpaid break minutes for each day worked. Leave paid breaks at 0.
  5. Read each day's hours in the last column and the Total row beneath it.
  6. Check the summary tiles and pay table on the right for regular hours, overtime hours and gross pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it apply the 40-hour weekly overtime rule?

No, only a daily threshold. Under a weekly rule the same 44-hour week above would have 4 overtime hours: 40 x 18.50 + 4 x 27.75 = $851.00 instead of $888.00. US federal rules look at the workweek, while some states, California for one, also have daily rules. Check which applies to you.

Why does my total show 7.75 hours when I worked 7 hours 45 minutes?

Decimal hours divide minutes by 60, so 45 minutes is 0.75 of an hour. Payroll systems that ask for decimals want 7.75, and entering 7.45 would underpay you by 18 minutes.

How do I enter a night shift?

Put the start time in clock-in and the finish in clock-out, say 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM. When the result would be negative the page adds 24 hours, so this becomes 8 hours less any break. The whole shift is counted on the day it started.

I got 23 hours for a very short shift. What happened?

Your break is probably longer than the shift. A 9:00 to 9:20 entry with a 30-minute break goes negative, and the overnight rule then adds a full day, giving 23 hours 50 minutes. Fix the break or the times.

Can I set double time or overtime after zero hours?

No. The multiplier is always 1.5, and typing 0 in the threshold box makes the page fall back to 8 hours. There is also no weekly cap or seventh-day rule.

Is the result what will land on my paycheck?

It is gross pay only, with no taxes or deductions, and it uses exact minutes. Many employers round punches to a quarter hour or similar, which can shift the total slightly, so use the figure to check your hours rather than predict net pay.
