What is a Time Card Calculator?
A Time Card Calculator sums the number of hours worked by an employee from In and Out times each day. This calculator accomplishes it all automatically, with overtime, breaks, and military time, plus printing, CSV download, and share links.
How to use this Calculator
This calculator simplifies time entry by reading unformatted times: "9" as nine o'clock, and "232" as 2:32. Twelve- and twenty-four-hour formats are interchangeable, a "1432" input in twelve-hour mode becomes 2:32; toggle the mode to recast every time on the card. Your entries are automatically saved in your browser and will await your return. No account, no cookies; the time card never leaves your device.

“I wish it gave you the option for overtime after 40 each week instead of daily. Other than that, it's an easy form to use which I like.”

Hi, Kim. Thanks for your feedback, weekly overtime has been added as per your request. —T.M.C.
Rules of Overtime
Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt workers must be paid overtime — at least 1.5 times regular pay — for each hour beyond 40 in the regularly recurring workweek.
Some states add on to the federal overtime right, if federal and state rules disagree then apply the law that gives the employee greater benefit.
In California
Overtime (1.5x) begins after 8 hours in a workday; after 12 hours in a workday pay becomes double time (2x). Hours after 40 in a week are overtime. On the seventh day of consecutive work the first 8 hours are overtime and further hours are double time.
Pyramiding
"Pyramiding" is counting the same hour towards both daily and weekly overtime or double time, this is not required under US federal and state labor laws.

The 7-minute rounding rule
Rounding is O.K. if employees are not underpaid over time.
Even neutral-seeming schemes can result in underpayment. Time My Card discourages rounding and our minute-accurate reckoning makes it unnecessary.
7-Minute Rule
A common scheme is the "7-minute" rounding rule, in which minutes 1 to 7 after the quarter hour are rounded down and 8 to 14 rounded up.
In California
Rounding is not permitted for meal period times [Donohue v. AMN Services].
Lunch Breaks vs. Rest Breaks
Rest periods typically last 5 to 20 minutes, coffee and snack breaks are examples. These are known to promote employee efficiency, and fall within normal hours, so they must be paid.
Meals
A "bona fide meal period" is different from a rest; it is for the purpose of eating a regular meal, ordinarily lasting thirty minutes or longer, it does not need to be paid. Should the worker be made to perform duties — active or inactive, including the mere presence at their machine — the period is not a meal and it is time which must be compensated.
