Formula and assumptions See how this estimate is built
Formula: Daily hours = clock-out - clock-in - unpaid breaks; weekly pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × multiplier.
Use the weekly hours as the source number, then review regular and overtime splits before copying the result.
Payroll rounding, split shifts, and local overtime rules can change the official total.
Before you use the weekly total
Enter only complete clock-in and clock-out pairs. If one day is missing an end time, leave it blank until you know the actual time so the weekly total stays easy to review.
For pay questions, compare the result with the time record your employer uses. Taxes, deductions, tips, premiums, and local overtime rules can change the final paycheck.
How the estimate is built
Daily hours = clock-out time minus clock-in time minus unpaid break time. Weekly hours = all daily hours added together. Overtime is the part above your overtime threshold.
Common situations
- You are checking a full work week before submitting a timesheet.
- You want to compare regular hours and overtime before payday.
- You need a saved copy of a week you may edit later.
