Reviewed by Calculator Editorial Team

Track your work hours accurately with this time card calculator that accounts for lunch breaks and overtime. Whether you're an employee tracking your pay or an employer managing payroll, this tool helps ensure you're paid correctly for all hours worked.

How to Use This Calculator

Using this time card calculator is simple:

  1. Enter your regular work hours in the "Regular Hours" field.
  2. Specify your lunch break duration in the "Lunch Break" field.
  3. Enter any overtime hours in the "Overtime Hours" field.
  4. Click "Calculate" to see your total hours worked.

The calculator will display your total hours worked, including breaks and overtime, and show how much overtime you've worked if applicable.

Formula Used

The calculation is straightforward:

Total Hours Worked = Regular Hours + Overtime Hours

Lunch breaks are not subtracted from the total hours because they are typically unpaid time. Overtime hours are calculated separately based on your employment agreement.

For overtime pay calculation, you'll need to multiply the overtime hours by your overtime rate, which is typically 1.5 times your regular hourly rate.

Worked Example

Let's say you work a standard 8-hour shift with a 30-minute lunch break and put in 2 hours of overtime:

Regular Hours 8 hours
Lunch Break 0.5 hours
Overtime Hours 2 hours
Total Hours Worked 10 hours

Your total hours worked would be 10 hours, with 2 hours of overtime. If your regular hourly rate is $20, your overtime pay would be 2 hours × $30/hour = $60.
