How It Works
Our Time Card Calculator helps you accurately track weekly work hours from your daily shift start and end times, including unpaid breaks. This ensures precise calculation of your regular and overtime hours, vital for correct payroll processing in 2026, especially with evolving labor laws.
The calculator sums the duration of each shift (End Time - Start Time - Break Duration) to determine daily hours. These daily totals are then aggregated for the week. Overtime is calculated based on hours exceeding 40 per week, though this threshold can be adjusted for specific state or company policies.
Always double-check your shift times for accuracy, especially AM/PM designations. Remember to input break durations correctly; even short breaks impact total hours. A common mistake is forgetting to account for unpaid lunch breaks, which can lead to overstating work hours.
Example: A Week of Shifts
- 1 Input the following for a work week in January 2026: Monday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (30 min break); Tuesday: 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM (30 min break); Wednesday: 8:30 AM - 4:30 PM (1 hour break); Thursday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (30 min break); Friday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM (1 hour break).
- 2 The calculator will process each day: Monday (7.5 hours), Tuesday (8 hours), Wednesday (7 hours), Thursday (8.5 hours), Friday (8 hours). It then sums these daily totals.
- 3 The total weekly hours are 39 hours. In this scenario, there are 39 regular hours and 0 overtime hours, assuming a 40-hour workweek threshold.
- 4 This breakdown clearly shows your total compensated time, distinguishing between standard work and any potential overtime, which is crucial for verifying your paycheck's accuracy. This example demonstrates how to account for varying shift lengths and break durations over a typical work week.
