🗂How many hours was that week?

✓ Tested & verified Updated: How this works

A timesheet reconstructed on Friday is fiction. Kept as it happens, it is the only record that survives a disagreement.

One thing a month worth timing

Monthly

One thing a month worth measuring or capping with a clock — a payroll trap, a nap length, a meeting that never gets added up. Two sentences and the tool.

How this works

A row per day: hours on the clock, and the unpaid break in minutes. The break is taken off each day rather than off the week, which is how payroll treats it and which matters on a day with two shifts. The total is in decimal hours — the form a payroll system wants — because 7:30 on a clock is 7.5 here, and typing 7.30 loses twelve minutes a day.

Minutes to decimal hours

The conversion payroll expects, and the one people type instead.

7:30 is 7.5, never 7.30. Twelve minutes a day is about a working week over a year.

Frequently asked questions

Why decimal hours rather than hours and minutes?

Because that is what payroll and invoicing systems take, and converting at the last moment is where the error creeps in. Seven and a half hours is 7.5, not 7.30. Keeping the log in the same unit as the form removes one conversion, and one conversion is one chance to be wrong.

What counts as an unpaid break?

A break long enough to be genuinely off duty — thirty minutes or more under US federal rules. Short rest breaks of five to twenty minutes are paid and should not be deducted; taking them off is the most common way a timesheet quietly undercounts.

Does it work out overtime?

The week total is here and the forty-hour threshold is a subtraction away, but the multiplier is deliberately not applied: overtime rules differ by state, by contract and by country, and a number produced by the wrong rule is worse than no number. The time card calculator applies the US federal rule where that is the right one.

How this works

Each day contributes its clock hours minus its break converted to hours, and days are summed. Nothing is rounded during the calculation — rounding is a payroll policy applied per shift, and applying it inside a personal log would make the log disagree with both the clock and the payslip. The break total is shown separately because it is the figure most often disputed and least often recorded.
