To calculate work hours with breaks, subtract your clock-in time from your clock-out time, then subtract your break duration. For example: Clock in at 9:00 AM, clock out at 5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch break = 8.5 hours - 0.5 hours = 8.0 hours worked. Our free timecard calculator does this automatically for each day and handles overnight shifts seamlessly.

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), overtime is any time worked beyond 40 hours in a single workweek. The standard overtime rate is 1.5 times your regular hourly rate (time-and-a-half). Some states like California also require daily overtime for hours exceeding 8 in a single day. This calculator tracks weekly overtime at the 40-hour threshold and highlights days with 8+ hours.

Night shifts that cross midnight (e.g., 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM) require special handling since the clock-out time appears earlier than clock-in. Our work hours calculator automatically detects overnight shifts and adjusts the calculation by adding 24 hours when the out time is before the in time. You'll see a 🌙 Overnight indicator when this is detected.

The 40-hour work week is the standard established by the FLSA in 1940. Any non-exempt employee who works more than 40 hours in a single workweek must receive overtime pay at 1.5x their regular rate. The workweek is defined as any fixed, recurring period of 168 hours (7 consecutive 24-hour periods). This calculator defaults to a Monday-through-Sunday workweek, which is the most common arrangement among U.S. employers.
