Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formulas to compute your time card:

Daily Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Duration Regular Hours = MIN(Daily Hours, 8) Overtime Hours = MAX(Daily Hours - 8, 0) Weekly Regular Hours = SUM(Regular Hours for all days) Weekly Overtime Hours = SUM(Overtime Hours for all days)

The calculator handles time calculations across midnight by treating the next day as a continuation of the previous day's work.
