How Time Card Calculations Work
Time card calculations follow these formulas:
Daily Hours = (Time Out - Time In) - Break Time
Regular Hours = Min(Total Hours, Overtime Threshold)
Overtime Hours = Max(0, Total Hours - Overtime Threshold)
Gross Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier)
Standard overtime is typically 1.5× regular rate for hours over 40 per week.
Example Calculation
For an employee working 45 hours at $20/hour with 1.5× overtime:
- Regular hours: 40 hours × $20 = $800
- Overtime hours: 5 hours × $30 (20 × 1.5) = $150
- Total gross pay: $800 + $150 = $950
- Effective hourly rate: $950 ÷ 45 hours = $21.11/hour
Frequently Asked Questions
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime is typically calculated for hours worked over 40 per week at 1.5 times the regular hourly rate. Some states or employers may have different overtime rules.
Should I include break time in my calculations?
Break time is typically unpaid and should be subtracted from your total time. Enter your break duration in minutes for each day.
Can I calculate pay for multiple weeks?
This calculator is designed for weekly calculations. For multiple weeks, calculate each week separately as overtime rules typically reset weekly.
