How this time card calculator works
This calculator finds the paid minutes between the start time and end time, subtracts any unpaid break, converts the result to decimal hours, and multiplies by the hourly rate.
Gross pay = decimal hours x hourly rate
It is useful for checking daily shift pay, filling out a time card, or double-checking hours before submitting payroll information.
Examples
Example 2
If the hourly rate is $20, that same shift produces $150 in gross pay.
Example 3
From 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM with overnight mode enabled, the calculator treats the shift as continuing into the next day.
Frequently asked questions

Does this subtract unpaid breaks?
Yes. Enter the break in minutes and it will be removed from the paid time.
Does this include overtime?
No. This tool estimates regular daily pay only and does not apply overtime rules.
