Overtime is calculated on a daily basis using the standard hours per day you set (default 8 hours). Any time worked beyond that threshold on a given day counts as overtime. For example, if your standard is 8 hours and you work 10 hours on Monday (after break deduction), 2 hours are counted as overtime. Total overtime is the sum of daily overtime across all 7 days. The estimated pay calculation applies a 1.5x multiplier to overtime hours.

Yes! Our calculator automatically detects overnight shifts. If your clock-out time is earlier than your clock-in time (e.g., clock in at 10:00 PM and clock out at 6:00 AM), the tool assumes the shift spans midnight and calculates the correct duration. For example, 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM with a 30-minute break = 7.5 hours.

Breaks are entered in minutes and deducted directly from the gross hours between clock-in and clock-out. For example, if you work from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (8 hours gross) and take a 30-minute lunch break, your net work time is 7.5 hours. You can customize break duration per day using the number input or quick preset buttons (0, 15, 30, 60 minutes). Typical values are 30 minutes for a lunch break or 0 for days without breaks.

This tool uses a daily overtime model, which is common under U.S. labor laws (e.g., California requires overtime for hours worked beyond 8 per day). The default standard is 8 hours per day, but you can adjust this in the settings to match your local regulations or employment contract. The tool covers all 7 days of the week. Note that some jurisdictions also mandate weekly overtime (e.g., over 40 hours per week)—our daily totals help you track both metrics.

Estimated pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × 1.5). Regular hours are capped at the daily standard (default 8 hours/day), and any excess counts as overtime paid at time-and-a-half. If no hourly rate is entered, the pay estimate shows $0.00. This is an estimate only—always verify with your employer's specific pay policies.
