Formula Used

The calculator uses these formulas to determine your biweekly totals:

Weekly Work Hours = Daily Hours × Workdays per Week Weekly Break Time = (Lunch Break × Workdays per Week) / 60 Biweekly Work Hours = Weekly Work Hours × 2 Biweekly Break Time = Weekly Break Time × 2

These formulas account for your regular work schedule and break times, providing an accurate picture of your biweekly work commitment.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a biweekly timesheet for someone who works 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, with a 30-minute lunch break:

Daily Hours = 8
Workdays per Week = 5
Lunch Break = 30 minutes

Calculations:

Weekly Work Hours = 8 × 5 = 40 hours
Weekly Break Time = (30 × 5) / 60 = 2.5 hours
Biweekly Work Hours = 40 × 2 = 80 hours
Biweekly Break Time = 2.5 × 2 = 5 hours

This employee would have 80 hours of work and 5 hours of breaks in a two-week period.

Exporting to Excel

The calculator can export your timesheet to Excel format for payroll processing. The exported file includes:

Your input values (daily hours, workdays, break time)
Calculated weekly and biweekly totals

This feature saves time by providing a ready-to-use document that payroll staff can work with directly.
