Timesheet & Time Card Tools
Daily and weekly tracking with breaks and overtime.
Time cards are the foundation of hourly payroll. These calculators handle daily punches, weekly and biweekly totals, lunch break deductions, and overnight shifts so timesheet math matches what your employer pays.
Time Card
Calculate daily and weekly time card totals from clock in and out.
Work Hours
Calculate daily and weekly work hours worked.
Weekly Timesheet
Track Monday through Sunday hours, overtime, and gross pay.
Time Card with Lunch
Time card with separate clock in, lunch start, lunch end, and clock out.
Lunch Break
Calculate paid hours after deducting an unpaid lunch break.
Biweekly Time Card
Track 14 days of clock in and out for biweekly payroll.
Shift Hours
Calculate paid hours for a single shift, with overnight support.
Night Shift Hours

What belongs on an accurate time card
A complete time card has five pieces of data for every shift: the date, the clock-in time, the clock-out time, any unpaid break duration, and a running total of paid hours. Anything less and the math is guesswork; anything more and the form gets ignored. The calculators in this hub use exactly those inputs.
For overnight shifts, the date should reflect the day the shift started. A nurse who clocks in at 11 p.m. Monday and out at 7 a.m. Tuesday goes on Monday's row — splitting the shift across two days is the most common cause of duplicate or missing hours in weekly totals.
Paid vs unpaid breaks
Under federal law, short rest breaks of 5 to 20 minutes count as compensable work time and must be paid. Bona fide meal periods of 30 minutes or more are not work time and may be unpaid, provided the employee is fully relieved of duty. An employee who eats at their desk and answers calls is still working — and must be paid.
Many state laws are stricter. California, for example, requires a paid 10-minute rest break for every four hours worked and a 30-minute unpaid meal period before the end of the fifth hour, with a premium-pay penalty when the employer fails to provide them.
Weekly and biweekly totals
For weekly payroll, add the decimal hours from each day of the workweek. For biweekly, repeat over 14 days. Always calculate overtime week by week — see the overtime hub — even when the pay period spans two weeks.
Keep the raw clock-in / clock-out values, not just the totals. If a paycheck is disputed later, the punch detail is what proves the totals are right. Time card calculators on this site display every step so you can copy the breakdown into your records.
About these calculators
Every tool listed above runs in your browser, uses transparent arithmetic, and is designed to give a quick payroll-time estimate you can sanity check against your timesheet or paycheck. Results are estimates only; final pay depends on your employer's policies, your state's rules, time clock rounding, paid versus unpaid breaks, premium pay, and how your payroll provider applies them.
