Formula Used
Total Hours Worked
Sum of all hours entered for the pay period.
Total Hours = Day 1 + Day 2 + Day 3 + Day 4 + Day 5
Gross Pay
Total hours multiplied by hourly rate.
Gross Pay = Total Hours × Hourly Rate
Net Pay
Gross pay minus deductions.
Net Pay = Gross Pay - Deductions
Assumptions
- Standard 40-hour workweek for weekly pay periods
- Bi-weekly pay periods are 2 weeks
- Monthly pay periods are 4 weeks
- Deductions are applied to gross pay
Worked Example
Let's calculate a paycheck for a worker with these details:
- Hourly rate: $15.00
- Hours worked: 8 hours/day for 5 days
- Pay period: Weekly
- Deductions: $120 (taxes and insurance)
Calculation Steps
- Total Hours = 8 × 5 = 40 hours
- Gross Pay = 40 × $15.00 = $600.00
- Net Pay = $600.00 - $120.00 = $480.00
This example shows a $480.00 net pay for a standard 40-hour workweek.

FAQ
How accurate is this time card calculator?
This calculator provides an estimate based on the information you enter. For exact payroll calculations, consult your payroll department or use official payroll software.
Can I use this for overtime calculations?
This basic calculator doesn't account for overtime. For overtime calculations, you'll need to track hours worked beyond your standard workweek and calculate overtime pay separately.
What if my pay period is different?
The calculator supports weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly pay periods. If you have a different pay schedule, you may need to adjust the hours accordingly.
How do I handle different hourly rates?
This calculator assumes a single hourly rate. If you have different rates for different days or tasks, you'll need to calculate those separately and add them together.
