Time Card Calculator FAQs
What is a time card calculator?
A time card calculator is an app that lets you plug in information like shift times, overtime hours, and gross wages to automatically create a weekly time card.
How do you calculate time card hours?
Your time card hours are based on when your shift starts, when it ends, and any breaks you take throughout the day.
For example, if you work in California, you’re entitled to one unpaid 30-minute break and two paid 10-minute breaks for every four hours worked. Your time card should reflect any unpaid breaks:
Monday — 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM — 30 minute unpaid break = 7.5 hours worked
In this example, you would add your starting time (9:00 AM), your ending time (5:00 PM), and a 0.5-hour break. Then, the time card calculator would automatically calculate your total and overtime hours. (Neat, huh?)
