About the Timesheet Calculator
Enter when you started, when you finished and how long you took for breaks, and this calculator totals each day and the week. It handles night shifts that cross midnight, and shows the total in decimal hours — the format payroll systems and invoices ask for — so 7h 45m becomes 7.75. Add an hourly rate to see gross pay.
How to use the Timesheet Calculator
- Fill in the start time, end time and unpaid break minutes for each day worked. Leave days off blank.
- Read the hours for each day on the right and the weekly total below.
- Use the decimal hours figure for payroll or invoices.
- Optionally enter an hourly rate to see gross pay for the week.
The formula behind it
Hours = (end − start − break). If the end time is earlier than the start, 24 hours are added first. Decimal hours = total minutes ÷ 60.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert 7 hours 45 minutes to decimal?
45 ÷ 60 = 0.75, so 7 h 45 m is 7.75 hours. The decimal hours box does this for the whole week.
Does it work for night shifts?
Yes. A shift of 22:00 to 06:00 is read as eight hours because an end time before the start is treated as the next day.
Are breaks paid or unpaid?
The break minutes you enter are subtracted, so enter only unpaid break time. Leave paid breaks at zero.
Does it calculate overtime?
Not automatically, since overtime rules differ by country and contract. Use the weekly total and apply your threshold, for instance 40 hours in the US under federal rules.
Is the pay figure net or gross?
Gross — before tax and deductions. It is simply decimal hours multiplied by your rate.
