Weekly paid hours, overtime split and gross pay before payroll review.
Raw weekly hours = Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday + Friday + Saturday + Sunday. Paid hours = max(0, raw weekly hours − unpaid break minutes ÷ 60). Regular hours = min(paid hours, overtime threshold). Overtime hours = max(0, paid hours − overtime threshold). Gross pay = regular hours × hourly rate + overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier.
For five 8-hour days, raw weekly hours are 40.00. Subtract 150 unpaid break minutes ÷ 60 = 2.50 hours, leaving 37.50 paid hours. With a 40-hour threshold, regular hours are 37.50, overtime hours are 0.00 and gross pay at $25/hour is $937.50.
Master’s Tip: print the time-card record before payroll review and write the worker, week start date and approval notes in the notes area. A total without the daily hours and break deduction is much harder to audit later.
Standard or basis: decimal-hour weekly time-card arithmetic with a user-entered overtime threshold and multiplier. The calculator is a transparent planning record, not a jurisdiction-specific wage-law engine.
Methodology & Accuracy
CalculationTime pages are built around visible arithmetic: the formula, assumptions, worked example and practical limitations are shown so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.

Where a calculator follows a named legal, trade or industry standard, that standard is cited visibly. Otherwise the page uses transparent general arithmetic and states its limits.Master’s Tip: print the time-card record before payroll review and write the worker, week start date and approval notes in the notes area.

Add the daily hours for the week, subtract unpaid break minutes divided by 60, then split the paid hours into regular and overtime hours using the chosen threshold.
7.5 hours means 7 hours and 30 minutes. Decimal hours are useful for payroll totals because minutes can be converted by dividing by 60.
This calculator subtracts the unpaid break minutes you enter. Whether a break is paid or unpaid depends on the workplace rule, contract and jurisdiction.
Yes, for a simple entered threshold and multiplier. It estimates regular hours, overtime hours and gross pay, but it does not replace official payroll rules.

Time cards turn a week of lived work into an auditable payroll record. The arithmetic is simple, but the trust comes from showing the daily entries, break deduction, threshold and gross-pay assumption beside the answer.
A weekly total is easier to dispute than a row-by-row card. Keeping Monday through Sunday visible helps workers, supervisors and payroll staff find missing shifts, accidental zeros or break mistakes.
Minutes become decimal hours by dividing by 60. That is why 30 minutes becomes 0.5 hours and 15 minutes becomes 0.25 hours on many payroll worksheets.
A filed time-card report should show the worker, week, daily hours, unpaid breaks, threshold and approval notes. Without that context, a gross-pay number can look more official than it is.
