Enter clock-in, clock-out and unpaid break minutes for up to seven consecutive days. The calculator shows each day’s worked time and the total as hours and minutes and decimal hours. Leave both times blank for a day off. Day 1 should be the first day of the workweek you are checking.
Time card for seven days

Leave both times blank for a day off. An end time earlier than the start is treated as the next day. Enter only genuinely unpaid break minutes; this is a personal estimate, not an employer time record.
How the time card adds a workweek
For each entered day, the tool calculates the elapsed minutes between start and end, treats an earlier end time as the following day, and subtracts the unpaid break. It then adds the daily minutes before converting the total to decimal hours. A blank day counts as zero; a day with only one clock time is flagged so a missing punch cannot quietly reduce the total.
The starting example is five shifts from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., each with a 30-minute unpaid break. Each day contributes eight hours, for 40 hours across the seven-day grid. If Day 5 instead ends at 7:00 p.m. with the same break, that day contributes 9 hours 30 minutes and the total becomes 41 hours 30 minutes.
Check what the break field means
Use zero when there is no genuinely unpaid break. The federal FLSA generally counts short rest breaks as hours worked. Bona fide meal periods can generally be excluded when you are completely relieved from duty. Do not deduct an interrupted or worked meal simply because the schedule shows a lunch period. State or local rules may add protections; this tool only performs the arithmetic on the numbers you provide.
Keep the right workweek together
The Department of Labor calls for records of daily hours and total hours in each workweek. Day 1 may be any day: use the first day of your employer’s fixed, recurring seven-day workweek, not necessarily Monday. If a shift crosses that workweek’s boundary, this simple one-row-per-shift entry may attribute all its hours to the starting day. Split the hours across the boundary in your underlying record before using the total for overtime analysis.
This time card is a personal cross-check and does not save or transmit entries. It cannot resolve daylight saving time changes, shifts longer than 24 hours, separate split shifts on one day, payroll rounding or whether time qualifies as compensable work. For a single shift, use the work hours calculator. For a straightforward gross pay estimate after confirming your weekly hours, see the overtime calculator.
If your employer rounds clock punches before calculating pay, compare your actual minutes with our guide to time clock rounding rules. This calculator does not apply payroll rounding.
Frequently asked questions
Can I leave a day off blank?
Yes. Leave both start and end blank and keep the unpaid break at zero. If you enter one time without the other, the calculator asks you to complete the pair.
How does it handle a night shift?
An end time earlier than the start is treated as the next day. For example, 10:00 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. is eight hours and 30 minutes before any unpaid break. Identical start and end times are rejected because the intended duration is ambiguous.
Is this an official employer time card?
No. The numbers are calculated locally and are not submitted to your employer. Compare them with actual records and report any discrepancy through the appropriate process.

Reviewed October 7, 2026. Daily durations are computed in minutes, summed without intermediate rounding and shown as hours and minutes plus decimal hours. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Fact Sheet #21 describes daily and weekly recordkeeping; Fact Sheet #22 describes hours worked and breaks.
