Adding up a week's worth of clock-in and clock-out times by hand — while remembering to subtract unpaid breaks — is tedious and error-prone.

This calculator totals your hours worked across up to 5 days, subtracting any unpaid breaks, and optionally calculates gross pay.

How it works

Enter the clock-in and clock-out time for each day you worked (leave unused days blank), plus any unpaid break minutes for that day. The calculator finds each day's worked time, subtracts the break, and sums every day together — multiplying by an hourly rate for gross pay if provided.

  1. Enter day 1 clock-in.
  2. Enter day 1 clock-out.
  3. Enter day 1 unpaid break (minutes).
  4. Enter day 2 clock-in.
  5. Enter day 2 clock-out.
  6. Enter day 2 unpaid break (minutes).
  7. Enter day 3 clock-in.
  8. Enter day 3 clock-out.
  9. Enter day 3 unpaid break (minutes).
  10. Enter day 4 clock-in.
  11. Enter day 4 clock-out.
  12. Enter day 4 unpaid break (minutes).
  13. Enter day 5 clock-in.
  14. Enter day 5 clock-out.
  15. Enter day 5 unpaid break (minutes).
  16. Enter hourly rate ($, optional).
  17. Click Calculate to see your results.

Examples

Two 8-hour days

Working 9:00–17:00 and 9:00–17:30 with a 30-minute break each day totals 15.5 hours — worth $310 at a $20/hour rate.

Who should use it

  • Totaling a week's worked hours from clock-in/clock-out records.
  • Quickly estimating gross pay before an official payroll run.

Industry applications

  • Payroll and HR administration
  • Hourly employee scheduling and timekeeping

Advantages

  • Handles up to 5 days with individual break deductions in one calculation.
  • Optionally calculates gross pay directly from an hourly rate.

Limitations

  • Limited to 5 days — a full biweekly or monthly timesheet needs multiple calculations.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Forgetting to enter break minutes, which overstates the actual hours worked.
  • Entering a clock-out time earlier than clock-in without intending an overnight shift, which the calculator will interpret as crossing midnight.

Best practices

  • Double-check each day's total against your own quick mental math before relying on the final sum for payroll purposes.

Tips

  • If you need decimal hours for a specific single duration instead of a multi-day total, the Decimal Time Converter or Time Duration Calculator may be a faster, simpler tool.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, with no signup and no limit on how many timesheets you calculate.
If the clock-out time is earlier in the day than the clock-in time, the calculator assumes the shift ended the next day and calculates the duration accordingly.
No — leave any unused day's fields blank, and the calculator only totals the days you actually entered.
The break minutes you enter are treated as unpaid and subtracted from that day's worked time — don't include paid breaks in this field.
