Numbers look off? Tell usBuilt for hourly workers checking a paycheck and for small teams that still add up hours by hand.
Pick your state and the right rules apply. California's daily overtime and double time, the seventh-day rule, and daily overtime in Alaska, Nevada and Colorado are all counted for you.
See the California rulesA shift from 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM is 8.5 hours, not a negative number. Unpaid lunch comes off automatically, and a split shift on the same day adds up before overtime is checked.
Payroll asks for 7.75. You remember 7 hours 45 minutes. Every total shows both, so you can copy the number your timesheet or payroll form asks for.
Minutes to decimal chartSet the pay period and the first day, and the calendar fills in. Overtime is checked week by week, the way the law requires, even inside a two-week pay period.
Add your manager's email, and your email app opens with the hours, overtime and a link to the full timesheet filled in. Or text it, copy the link, print it, or download a CSV. Nobody needs an account to open it.

Yes. The calculator and My Timecard are free for workers and need no account.
Divide the minutes by 60. 45 minutes is 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. The chart below lists every minute from 0 to 59.
Yes. If the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the shift ends the next day. 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM is 8.5 hours. The hours count on the day the shift started.
Under federal law, non-exempt workers earn 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states add daily overtime.
California pays 1.5x after 8 hours in a day, 2x after 12, and has a seventh-day rule. Alaska pays 1.5x after 8 hours a day at employers with 4 or more employees. Nevada pays 1.5x after 8 hours in 24 hours if you earn less than $18.00 an hour. Colorado pays 1.5x after 12 hours in a workday or 12 hours in a row.
Enter only unpaid breaks. Under federal rules, short rest breaks of about 5 to 20 minutes are paid time. Meal breaks of 30 minutes or more, when you are fully relieved from work, are usually unpaid.

Adding up a time card by hand takes five steps. The calculator above does all of them, but knowing the steps helps you check a paycheck or explain a difference to your manager.
Example: 8:45 AM to 5:15 PM with a 30 minute unpaid lunch is 8 hours 30 minutes, minus 30 minutes, which is 8 hours or 8.00 in decimal.
Use this chart to turn the minutes on a time card into the decimal hours used by most payroll systems.
Federal law sets overtime at 1.5 times the regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek. Four states also count overtime by the day.
| State | Daily overtime | Double time | Weekly overtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| All states (federal) | None | None | Over 40 hrs, 1.5x |
| California | Over 8 hrs, 1.5x | Over 12 hrs in a day; over 8 on the 7th day in a row | Over 40 hrs, 1.5x |
| Alaska | Over 8 hrs, 1.5x (4+ employees) | None | Over 40 hrs, 1.5x |
| Nevada | Over 8 hrs in 24 hrs, 1.5x, if paid under $18.00/hr | None | Over 40 hrs, 1.5x |
| Colorado | Over 12 hrs in a workday or 12 hrs in a row, 1.5x | None | Over 40 hrs, 1.5x |
Overtime is checked one workweek at a time. An employer cannot average two weeks together, so 45 hours one week and 35 the next still includes 5 hours of overtime.
Some employers round punches to the nearest quarter hour. Federal rules allow rounding only if it evens out over time and does not always favor the employer. In California, the state Supreme Court ruled in 2022 that employers who can record exact minutes must pay for all of them.
