Time Card Calculator with Lunch Breaks
Type in when you clocked in, when you clocked out and how long your unpaid lunch was. You get hours for each day, the week or the pay period, and how much of it is overtime. Night shifts that run past midnight work too.

Notes
- Hours = clock out minus clock in, minus unpaid breaks. A shift that ends before it starts is treated as running past midnight and counts toward the day it began.
- Biweekly cards are split into two separate workweeks. Federal overtime is figured per week, never averaged across two.
- California, Alaska, Nevada and Colorado also count daily overtime, and California adds double time. Pick your state to apply them.
- Short breaks of about 20 minutes or less are generally paid time under federal rules. Only count a lunch you were fully relieved of work for.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate hours on a time card with a lunch break?
Subtract clock-in from clock-out, then subtract the unpaid lunch. 9:00 to 5:30 with a 30-minute lunch is 8 hours. Convert minutes to a decimal by dividing by 60, so 7:45 is 7.75 hours.
How do I calculate a biweekly time card?
Add up each workweek on its own, then add the two weeks together. Overtime is based on each week separately, so 30 hours one week and 50 the next gives 10 overtime hours, not zero.
How do I calculate hours when I work past midnight?
Count from clock-in to clock-out across midnight. 10:00 pm to 6:00 am is 8 hours. This calculator does that for you when the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time.
What if my time card is short?
If your paycheck pays fewer hours than you recorded, or overtime came out at straight time, that gap may be back pay you can recover. The back pay calculator estimates it.
