About the Work Hours Calculator

A full week of shifts on one screen. Enter start and end times for each day with any unpaid break, and the calculator totals daily hours, weekly hours and, if you add an hourly rate, your gross pay for the week.

Overtime is split out separately. Set the threshold at which overtime begins and the multiplier it is paid at, and hours beyond that point are calculated at the higher rate and reported on their own line. Overnight shifts crossing midnight are handled correctly, and every day's total is shown in decimal hours as well as hours and minutes, so the figures can be copied straight onto a timesheet.

Key features of the Work Hours Calculator

The whole week at once

Every day on one screen rather than seven separate calculations to add up afterwards.

Configurable overtime

Set the threshold where overtime starts and the multiplier it is paid at; hours beyond it are reported on their own line.

Gross pay calculated

Add your hourly rate and the week's pay is worked out, base and overtime separated.

Overnight shifts correct

Shifts crossing midnight are counted properly on the right day.

Decimal hours per day

Every day's total is shown in decimal as well as hours and minutes, ready to copy onto a timesheet.

How to use the Work Hours Calculator

  1. 1

    Fill in each day

    Enter the start time, end time and any unpaid break for every day you worked.

  2. 2

    Set your hourly rate

    Optional. Adding a rate turns the hours total into a gross pay figure.

  3. 3

    Configure overtime

    Set the weekly hours threshold and the overtime multiplier, such as 40 hours and 1.5x.

  4. 4

    Read the weekly totals

    Regular hours, overtime hours and total pay are shown together at the bottom.

Frequently asked questions

Hours worked beyond the threshold you set are paid at the multiplier you choose. A common arrangement is anything over 40 hours a week at 1.5 times the normal rate, but rules vary by country and contract.
