Work Hours & Payroll
Total weekly timesheet hours, unpaid breaks, overtime split and gross pay from daily hour entries, with a printable work-time record for payroll checks, invoices and job notes.
Calculator
Entered hours = Monday + Tuesday + Wednesday + Thursday + Friday + weekend/extra hours. Paid hours = max(0, entered hours − unpaid break minutes ÷ 60). Regular hours = min(paid hours, overtime threshold). Overtime hours = max(0, paid hours − overtime threshold). Gross pay estimate = regular hours × hourly rate + overtime hours × hourly rate × overtime multiplier.
This is the method behind the answer, so the result can be checked rather than simply trusted.Visual grid
Timesheet is not just a final answer. It is a step on a line: before and after, input and output, assumption and result.
CalculationTime keeps the path visible: the input, the method and the final number belong together.

A week with five 8-hour days has 40.00 entered hours. If unpaid breaks total 150 minutes, paid hours = 40 − 150 ÷ 60 = 37.50. With a 40-hour threshold and a 25.00 hourly rate, regular hours are 37.50, overtime hours are 0.00 and gross pay is 37.50 × 25.00 = 937.50.
Master’s Tip: keep the timesheet total and the payroll-rule decision separate. First print the factual hour record; then mark which threshold, rounding rule or agreement was used to turn those hours into pay.

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: keep the timesheet total and the payroll-rule decision separate.

Add the daily hours for the week, add any weekend or extra hours, then subtract unpaid break minutes divided by 60.
Enter 7.5 hours. Decimal timesheets use 0.25 for 15 minutes, 0.5 for 30 minutes and 0.75 for 45 minutes.
No. It splits hours against the threshold and multiplier you enter. Legal overtime can depend on local law, awards, contracts, holidays and daily rules.
The page follows a general recordkeeping method: calculate paid hours first, then split those paid hours into regular and overtime bands. Check your actual payroll rule if breaks are handled differently.

Timesheets are not just arithmetic; they are records. A useful timesheet calculator shows how daily time entries become paid hours, where unpaid breaks were deducted and which overtime assumption was used, so the record can be checked later instead of reconstructed from memory.
Daily start-and-finish systems, paper timesheets and digital logs all serve the same basic purpose: they preserve a work-time record that payroll, invoicing and management decisions can refer back to.
Many payroll and billing systems store time as decimal hours. That makes totals easier to add, but it also means 30 minutes must be entered as 0.5 hours, not 0.30 hours.
The calculator can split hours by an entered threshold, but jurisdiction-specific rules may also consider daily overtime, meal periods, public holidays, rounding policies and written agreements.
