How to Use This Calculator
Using our time card calculator is simple and straightforward:
- Enter the employee's hourly rate in the "Hourly Rate" field.
- Select the date for the time card entry.
- Enter the start and end times for each work period.
- Add any breaks taken during the workday.
- Click "Calculate" to see the total hours worked and pay amount.

The calculator will automatically calculate the total hours worked, including any overtime, and display the total pay amount based on the entered rate.
Formula Used
Total Hours Worked
Total Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Time
Total Pay
Total Pay = Total Hours × Hourly Rate
This formula accounts for the actual time worked after accounting for breaks. The calculator handles multiple work periods and break times to provide an accurate total.
Worked Example
Let's walk through an example to see how the calculator works:
- Employee hourly rate: $15.00
- Work period 1: 8:00 AM - 12:00 PM (4 hours)
- Break: 12:00 PM - 12:30 PM (30 minutes)
- Work period 2: 12:30 PM - 5:00 PM (4.5 hours)
Total hours worked: 4 hours + 4.5 hours = 8.5 hours
Total pay: 8.5 hours × $15.00 = $127.50
This example shows how the calculator accounts for multiple work periods and breaks to determine the total hours worked and pay amount.
