Frequently asked questions - timesheet calculator

How do I calculate my hours worked?
To calculate hours worked, subtract your clock-in time from your clock-out time, then subtract any unpaid break time. For example, if you work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a 30-minute lunch break, your hours worked are 8.5 hours. Our calculator does this automatically - just enter your times and break duration.
How is overtime calculated on a timesheet?
Under federal law (FLSA), overtime begins after 40 hours in a single workweek. Hours over 40 must be paid at 1.5x your regular rate. Some states like California calculate overtime daily - any hours over 8 in a single day qualify for overtime pay, regardless of your weekly total. Select your overtime threshold in the calculator above.
Do break times count as hours worked?
Short rest breaks of 5-20 minutes generally count as paid work time under federal law. Meal breaks of 30 minutes or more are typically unpaid and do not count as hours worked, provided the employee is completely relieved of duties during the break. Enter your unpaid break time in the Break column to deduct it from your total hours.
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?
Divide minutes by 60 to get decimal hours. Common conversions: 15 min = 0.25 hrs, 30 min = 0.50 hrs, 45 min = 0.75 hrs. For example, 8 hours 45 minutes = 8.75 hours. Our calculator handles this conversion automatically from your clock-in and clock-out times.
