This time card calculator helps you determine the correct workweek and pay periods when your work schedule starts on Sunday. Whether you're an employee or employer, understanding how your time card should be structured is essential for accurate payroll and scheduling.

How to Use This Calculator

Using this time card calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

Enter the start date of your workweek (Sunday).
Select the pay period frequency (weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly).
Click "Calculate" to see your workweek breakdown.
Review the results to ensure your time card is correctly structured.

The calculator will display the days of the workweek, the pay period dates, and any special considerations for your schedule.

Formula Used

The time card calculator uses the following logic to determine your workweek and pay periods:

// Determine workweek days workweekDays = [Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday] // Calculate pay period based on frequency if (payPeriod === 'weekly') { payPeriodEnd = startDate + 6 days } else if (payPeriod === 'bi-weekly') { payPeriodEnd = startDate + 13 days } else if (payPeriod === 'monthly') { payPeriodEnd = last day of the month } // Return results return { workweek: workweekDays, payPeriodStart: startDate, payPeriodEnd: payPeriodEnd }

The calculator assumes a standard 7-day workweek starting on Sunday. The pay period is calculated based on the selected frequency, with weekly pay periods ending on the following Saturday, bi-weekly pay periods ending on the 13th day, and monthly pay periods ending on the last day of the month.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the time card calculator works. Suppose you start work on Sunday, January 1, 2023, and your pay period is bi-weekly.

Enter the start date: January 1, 2023.
Select the pay period frequency: Bi-weekly.
Click "Calculate".

The calculator will display the following results:

Workweek days: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
Pay period start: January 1, 2023.
Pay period end: January 14, 2023.

This means you will be paid for the time worked from January 1 to January 14, 2023.
