Timecard calculator with lunch
Short answer: paid hours = (clock-out − clock-in) − lunch. 9:00 AM → 5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch = 8.5 − 0.5 = 8.00 paid hours. Each day row above deducts its own lunch separately — that's the part most people get wrong when they total a week.
A timecard calculator with lunch exists because the break comes out of the paid day. The mistake people make is subtracting a week's worth of lunches at the end — that only works if every day had the same break. The tool above nets each day on its own: a 20-minute shift with a 30-minute lunch contributes zero, not minus ten minutes. If a lunch entry is longer than the shift itself, that day is clamped to zero.
Paid hours = (clock-out − clock-in) − lunch minutes
Example: (17:30 − 09:00) − 30 min = 8.5h − 0.5h = 8.00h per day → 40.00h over 5 days
Biweekly hours calculator
Short answer: switch the period above to Biweekly for a 14-day timesheet — the overtime threshold moves from 40 to 80 hours. Two standard weeks = 80.00 hours, zero overtime.
Some employers pay every two weeks, so the timesheet needs two weeks on one page. In biweekly mode you get Week 1 and Week 2 grids, and overtime is everything past 80 hours — 92 hours over two weeks = 80 regular + 12 overtime. Note this is the federal FLSA framing (U.S. Department of Labor overtime rules); some states, like California, also require daily overtime after 8 hours, which this tool doesn't model.
Military time and clock formats
Short answer: the tool accepts military time (24-hour: 14:00) and 12-hour clock time natively, and you can flip how results display with the clock-format toggle above. 22:00–06:00 reads the same in both formats.
The time inputs use your device's native time picker, which follows your phone or computer's clock setting — 24-hour if your system uses it, AM/PM if not. The clock format toggle only changes how the day-by-day breakdown displays times. Overnight rows (clock-out earlier than clock-in) are shown in blue: 10:00 PM → 6:00 AM with a 30-minute lunch = 7.50 hours.
Weekly time tracking tips
Short answer: log times daily, net each day separately, and watch the overtime line — small daily overruns compound fast. A 20-minute daily overrun is 1.67 overtime hours by Friday.
Good time management for a week of shifts comes down to three habits. Managers: have staff enter in/out times daily, not from memory on Friday — rounding errors cluster at the end of the week. Freelancers: log billable days the same way and convert with our hours to decimal calculator for invoicing. Everyone: net each day before adding up — adding gross hours first and subtracting a week's lunches at the end silently overcounts any short day. If the week crossed 40 hours, our overtime tax calculator estimates the federal tax treatment of the premium half.
Hours calculator and time calculator tools
Short answer: this page is the timesheet hours calculator; our time calculator family covers the rest — durations, decimal conversion and taxes.
Different time jobs need different tools: our elapsed time calculator finds the duration between any two dates and times (the 86K-volume parent topic), the hours to decimal calculator converts any day's total for payroll (7h 30m → 7.50), and the overtime tax calculator handles the 2025–2028 "no tax on overtime" deduction. This page sits in the middle: a full week of shifts in, totals and overtime out.
Frequently asked questions
What is a weekly hours calculator?
It's a free timesheet tool that totals your work hours for the week. Enter each day's clock-in, clock-out and lunch minutes, and it returns your total hours, the overtime split and an optional pay estimate. The calculator above comes prefilled with a standard Mon–Fri 9:00–17:30 week (40.00 hours).
How many hours am I working this week?
Add each day's (clock-out − clock-in − lunch). Example: five days of 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch = 5 × 8.0 = 40.0 hours. Fill in the timesheet above and it does the addition for you, including overnight shifts and overtime.
Is there a weekly work hours calculator?
Yes — this page is a weekly work hours calculator. It's the same timesheet math with the words in a different order: enter your daily shifts and it totals the week's work hours, with lunch deductions and overtime handled automatically.
Is there a bi weekly hours calculator?
Yes — switch the period above to Biweekly and you get a 14-day timesheet covering two weeks, with the overtime threshold moving from 40 to 80 hours. That's the same calculator as a bi weekly hours calculator, just built into one page.
What is an hours calculator weekly?
It's the same thing as a weekly hours calculator — a tool that adds up one week's hours. Use the timesheet above: enter each day's in/out times and lunch minutes for your weekly total.
What is a weekly hours worked calculator?
Another name for the same tool: it totals the hours you actually worked in a week, after subtracting unpaid lunches and breaks. The calculator above shows both the raw total and the split into regular vs overtime hours.
Is there a time clock with lunch?
Yes — this timesheet works like a time clock with lunch: each day row has its own lunch-minutes field that gets deducted from that day's paid time, so 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch counts as 8.00 paid hours, not 8.50.
Is there a time clock calculator with lunch break?
Yes — that's exactly what this page is. Enter clock-in, clock-out and your lunch break per day, and it returns paid hours per day plus the weekly total, overtime and an optional pay estimate. If a lunch is longer than the shift itself, the day is clamped to zero rather than going negative.
Is there a weekly time calculator?
Yes — this is a weekly time calculator in timesheet form. If you need a single duration rather than a week of shifts, try our elapsed time calculator; for converting the result to decimal hours, use our hours to decimal calculator.
How are overnight shifts handled?
When the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the calculator assumes the shift crossed midnight and adds 24 hours. A 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM shift with a 30-minute lunch counts as 7.50 hours, and it's shown in blue in the day rows.
