Time Card Calculator That Does Over Time Hours

Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

This time card calculator helps you accurately track and calculate overtime hours worked. Whether you're an employee reviewing your pay stub or an employer managing payroll, this tool provides a clear breakdown of regular and overtime hours.

How This Calculator Works

The time card calculator determines overtime hours by comparing the total hours worked against standard workweek limits. Most jurisdictions require overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.

Key features of this calculator:

  • Calculates regular hours and overtime hours separately
  • Supports different overtime rates (1.5x, 2x, etc.)
  • Handles multiple workweeks in a pay period
  • Provides a visual breakdown of hours worked

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the total hours worked for each day of the workweek
  2. Select your overtime rate (typically 1.5x or 2x)
  3. Click "Calculate" to see your regular and overtime hours
  4. Review the results and chart for a visual breakdown

Note: Standard workweek limits may vary by jurisdiction. Always verify local labor laws for accurate overtime calculations.

The Formula

Regular Hours = Total hours worked ≤ 40

Overtime Hours = Total hours worked - 40 (if > 40)

Overtime Pay = Overtime hours × (Hourly rate × Overtime rate)

For example, if you work 45 hours at $20/hour with a 1.5x overtime rate:

  • Regular hours: 40
  • Overtime hours: 5
  • Overtime pay: 5 × ($20 × 1.5) = $150

Worked Example

Let's calculate overtime for a workweek with these hours:

  • Monday: 8 hours
  • Tuesday: 8 hours
  • Wednesday: 8 hours
  • Thursday: 8 hours
  • Friday: 7 hours

Total hours: 47

Regular hours: 40

Overtime hours: 7

If hourly rate is $25 and overtime rate is 1.5x:

  • Regular pay: 40 × $25 = $1,000
  • Overtime pay: 7 × ($25 × 1.5) = $262.50
  • Total pay: $1,262.50
