How to Use the Time Card Calculator?
Keeping an accurate record of your weekly hours is the only way to ensure your paycheck is correct. Instead of doing manual math with times like "8:45 AM" and "5:30 PM", our calculator automatically parses time durations and unpaid break intervals.
The Decimal Time System
In payroll processing, minutes are converted to decimals (Base 10) instead of Base 60. For example:
- 15 minutes = 0.25 hours
- 30 minutes = 0.50 hours
- 45 minutes = 0.75 hours
Our Time Card Calculator performs this conversion for every day of the week, tallies the total decimal hours, separates any hours over your weekly overtime threshold (usually 40), and instantly calculates your gross pay!
