A time card is the record an employee submits each pay period showing when they started and finished work each day. Employers use it to calculate hours worked and gross pay. This calculator works like a digital time card: enter your time in and time out per day and it totals everything for you.

How do I use this time card for payroll?

Fill in your time in and time out for each day, set your unpaid lunch minutes, and enter your hourly rate. The totals give you your gross pay for the week, which you can compare against your pay stub or attach to your submitted timesheet.

Why do employers round hours to the nearest quarter hour?

Many payroll systems round time entries to the nearest 15 minutes to simplify calculations. This tool shows your exact hours and minutes, which is more precise — your employer's rounded number may differ by a few minutes in either direction.

What if I worked an overnight shift?

Enter your actual times — for example, time in 10:00 PM and time out 6:00 AM. When time out is earlier than time in, the calculator treats it as an overnight shift and adds 24 hours automatically.

Is my data saved anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server. Your entries disappear when you close or refresh the page, so print or save your totals if you need a record.

Decimal hours vs clock time

Reading a time card in decimal hours

Payroll systems convert clock time to decimal hours: 7:30 becomes 7.50, 8:15 becomes 8.25. To convert, divide the minutes by 60. This calculator shows both formats side by side so you can check your pay stub line by line.

Printing your time card

Use the Print button for a clean summary to hand to a manager or keep for your records. Tip: label the week at the top so cards don't get mixed up, and keep copies until the pay period clears.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert 7:30 to decimal hours?

Divide minutes by 60: 30 ÷ 60 = 0.5, so 7:30 = 7.50 hours. The summary table does this for every day automatically.

What's the difference between this and the work hours calculator?

This page is the classic time-card grid with decimal hours and a printable summary. The work hours calculator adds overtime splitting and shift differentials.

Do I include unpaid lunch?

Yes — enter your lunch minutes and they are deducted. Enter 0 if your meal break is paid.

What if I forgot to clock out?

Leave that day blank or fix the time before submitting — a missing punch usually flags the card for your manager to correct.

Why does my stub show slightly different hours?

Employers often round to the nearest 15 minutes. Match the rounding setting above to your employer's policy to reproduce their number.
