Time Card Calculator

A time card is a list of clock-in and clock-out pairs. The Time Card Calculator accepts a line per day in a flexible format (e.g. "Mon 9:00-12:30, 13:00-17:30"), returns the total hours including any unpaid breaks, and flags overtime above 40 hours per week.

It also handles clock-outs that cross midnight (a 22:00 - 06:00 shift counts as 8 hours, not -16) and accepts fractional hours like 7.5. Pair it with the Work Week Calculator for a fuller plan.

Frequently asked questions

What if a shift crosses midnight?

Type the times in order (e.g. "22-06"); the calculator adds 24 hours to the end automatically.

How are breaks subtracted?

Use "(45m break)" or "(1h break)" anywhere in the line to subtract that amount from the day total.
