Also known as: hours worked calculator, time card calculator, hours calculator, time clock calculator, weekly hours calculator, monthly hours calculator, yearly hours calculator, 40 hour work week calculator, payroll hours calculator, and overtime calculator. All run the same clock-in/out math — type your start, end, and break above to get instant totals.
Work hours are the total time between clock-in and clock-out, minus breaks and any unpaid time. They can be tracked daily, weekly, or per pay period and are usually converted to decimal hours for payroll. A work-hours calculator handles multiple days, varied break lengths, overtime thresholds, and different pay frequencies, and returns the totals in hours, decimal hours, and gross pay if an hourly rate is entered.

| Method | Best for | Cost | Overnight shifts | Auto 1.5× overtime | Setup time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CalcCentral Work Hours Calculator | Freelancers, hourly employees, single shift | Free | Handled (crosses midnight) | Included | 0 — type and go |
| Spreadsheet (Excel / Google Sheets) | Custom reports, monthly summaries | Free (your time) | Manual formula needed | Manual formula needed | 30–60 min to build |
| Payroll service (Gusto, ADP, Paychex) | Multi-employee W-2 runs, tax filings | $40–$200/mo + per-employee | Handled | Handled | 1–3 business days onboarding |
| Punch clock app (TimeCamp, Clockify) | Live timer + multi-week history | Free tier / $5–$10/user/mo | Handled | Handled | 5–15 min per employee |
This calculator is the fastest path when you already know clock-in/out, the hourly rate, and the days you worked. For payroll taxes, W-2 forms, or multi-state filings, pair it with a payroll service.
Federal baseline under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): 1.5× the regular rate for any hours over 40 per workweek. Some states add daily overtime, double-time, or higher salary thresholds. The table below covers the most-searched states.
| State | Weekly OT trigger | Daily OT | Double-time | 2026 salary threshold (exempt) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Federal (FLSA) | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No | No | $1,128/wk ($58,656/yr) |
| California | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | > 8 hr/day at 1.5× | > 12 hr/day or > 8 hr on the 7th consecutive day at 2× | $1,128/wk (CA follows FLSA minimum; some roles higher) |
| New York | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No (most private-sector) | No | $1,128/wk (NYC + some counties: $1,250/wk) |
| Texas | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No | No | $1,128/wk |
| Florida | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No | No | $1,128/wk |
| Illinois | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No | No | $1,128/wk |
| Pennsylvania | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No | No | $1,128/wk |
| Washington | > 40 hr/wk at 1.5× | No (state law mirrors federal) | No | $1,128/wk (higher threshold proposed for 2026–2027) |
