Choose which seven days belong together
A weekly record needs a clear beginning and end. Select the date and start day that match the workweek you intend to summarize, rather than assuming every workplace uses Monday through Sunday. The layout gives each day its own working periods and net total. Days off can remain blank, including weekends, and you can add periods when a day contains separate assignments. Confirm the date labels before entering a complete week so that a night shift or weekend entry does not end up in the wrong reporting group.
Complete the week without filling assumed hours
Start from actual recorded starts and finishes. A normal eight-hour schedule is not a reason to fill a day with eight hours when the original record is missing. Enter the times you can verify, leave incomplete pairs unfinished and resolve their warnings before presenting the summary as complete. The calculator keeps completed days in the result while excluding an open period. This makes it possible to prepare the record gradually during the week without treating an unconfirmed end time as zero working time or inventing a departure.
Use the daily totals to explain the weekly sum
Suppose five completed days contribute 7.5, 8, 6.5, 9 and 8 hours. The weekly total is 39 hours, and the daily figures show how it differs from a standard 40-hour plan. Check breaks before concluding that an hour is missing. A 30-minute unpaid lunch on every day reduces a five-day gross span by 2.5 hours; a paid lunch does not. Split periods already exclude their gaps, so remove a default deduction when it represents the same lunch. Keep different paid and unpaid rests as separate entries.
Check overtime within this fixed workweek
The default weekly estimate counts net hours above 40 in the selected seven-day group. Switching to two weeks still evaluates each workweek separately, not against one 80-hour threshold. Daily mode estimates hours above eight per day, while combined mode takes the higher daily or weekly overtime total without adding them. None disables overtime. These are arithmetic settings rather than legal decisions about breaks, exemptions, double time or compliance. Confirm the applicable workweek and pay rules independently before using the summary to support an official payroll action.
Convert the summary for an hourly-rate calculation
Hours and minutes help verify the record; decimals help multiply the duration by a rate. Thirty minutes is 0.5 hours, making 39 hours thirty minutes equal to 39.50. Enter one rate for an optional gross-pay estimate, with the selected multiplier applied to estimated overtime minutes. Taxes, paid leave and other adjustments are not part of that estimate. Leave rounding off for an exact-minute summary or choose daily or overall rounding deliberately. The tool does not reproduce rules that adjust each individual clock punch.
| Minutes | Decimal hours |
|---|---|
| 15 | 0.25 |
| 20 | 0.33 |
| 30 | 0.50 |
| 45 | 0.75 |
Export a record you can retain or discuss
Download CSV includes daily period records and totals with numeric decimal hours. Copy summary gives spreadsheet-friendly rows, and Print creates a readable report. Read any warning before treating the week as complete; an exported file cannot confirm that the original input was accurate. The browser remembers this tool’s card locally without registration or upload, but that is not a durable employer record. Keep a backup if you need to retain the summary, and use the appropriate official process when approval, signatures or corrections are required.
Frequently asked questions
Can my weekly record start on Sunday?
Yes. Choose Sunday in Week starts and verify the date labels for your selected week. Changing the start day preserves recorded calendar dates rather than moving the work to another date. Use the fixed workweek that applies to the record you intend to check, which need not be Monday through Sunday.
Do I need to fill all seven days?
No. Leave days off blank. Blank rows add no work and no break deduction, while a period with only one time is marked incomplete and excluded until you finish it. Enter verified records rather than assumed standard hours, and resolve missing punches before presenting the weekly summary as complete.
Can I use this as a weekly time card calculator?
Yes. Enter each clock-in and clock-out pair on its matching date, with additional periods when a day contains separate work. The tool calculates daily and weekly net hours from those entries. It does not authenticate attendance, retrieve terminal records or replace an employer’s official recordkeeping and approval process.
What happens if I have not clocked out yet?
An unfinished period is marked incomplete and excluded from the total until both times are valid. Leave the clock-out blank while you confirm the actual ending time. The calculator does not run an attendance timer or guess when you stopped working. Other completed periods continue to count normally.
Can I download the result for a spreadsheet?
Yes. Download CSV gives you individual periods, decimal hours, hours and minutes, and totals. The decimal-hours column contains numbers suitable for spreadsheet calculations. Copy summary produces tab-separated rows for pasting, while Print gives a readable report. Check your times and breaks before using any exported figures for payroll.
Do I need an account, and where are my entries saved?
You do not need an account. Calculations run in your browser, and entries are saved locally on this device rather than uploaded. A full-card sharing link contains the records in its fragment; anyone holding it can read them. Export your own backup before clearing browser storage or switching devices.
