37.5 h
How many hours are five 9:00–17:00 days with a 30-minute break? 37.5 h, with no overtime.
Time Card Calculator
The calculator sums hours from seven days: start, end and an unpaid break. Five 9:00–17:00 shifts with a 30-minute break are 37.5 h. Overtime starts after 40 hours in this week.
A span of two clock times without weekdays is on the time duration page. Rate times overtime hours: overtime calculator.
Result
Fill in at least one day. The hour total will appear here.
How it works
The calculator counts minutes between start and end and subtracts the unpaid break. Five days from 9:00 to 17:00 with a 30-minute break are 5 × 7.5 h, which is 37.5 h. There is no overtime, because the 40-hour threshold is not exceeded.
Five days from 9:00 to 17:30 with no break are 5 × 8.5 h, which is 42.5 h. Regular hours stay 40 h, and overtime is 2.5 h. At a rate of 20, pay is 40 × 20 plus 2.5 × 30, which is 875.
When the end is earlier than the start, the calculator adds 24 hours. A 22:00–6:00 shift with a 30-minute break is 7.5 h, not an error.
The overtime threshold is 40 hours in this week, a simplified FLSA rule. A daily 8-hour threshold and a Polish labor-code rule are not used.
An empty break is 0 minutes. A break longer than the shift is not accepted. An empty day is skipped.
This is not a payroll and not a statutory timesheet. Clock times without a week belong on the time duration page.
Formula
day minutes = end − start − break; overtime = max(0, total hours − 40)
When end < start, 24 h are added. Overtime pay is 1.5 × the rate, if you enter a rate.
How to use
- Fill Monday–Friday: 09:00, 17:00 and a 30-minute break. The result is 37.5 h, with no overtime.
- Change the end to 17:30 and the break to 0. The result is 42.5 h, including 2.5 h overtime.
- Optionally enter rate 20. Pay at 42.5 h is 875.
- Enter a night shift as 22:00 and 06:00. With a 30-minute break that is 7.5 h.
37.5 h from five 9:00–17:00 shifts
Each 9:00–17:00 shift minus 30 minutes is 7.5 h. Five such days are 37.5 h.
- 40 h
- The overtime threshold in this week. 42.5 h leaves 2.5 h overtime.
- 1,5×
- The overtime multiplier when a rate is entered. 2.5 h × 30 at rate 20 is 75.
- break
- Unpaid minutes. An empty field is 0. 30 minutes from 8 h leaves 7.5 h.
