Adding up a week of shifts by hand is where timesheet mistakes breed: breaks forgotten, a midnight finish counted to the wrong day, overtime spotted too late. This calculator takes the raw material — start time, end time and breaks for each day — and returns the figures payroll actually needs. It totals each day and the week, splits the result into regular hours and overtime hours (overtime is flagged on anything over 8 hours in a day or 40 in a week), and handles shifts that cross midnight correctly. Add as many days as the week contains, enter times in 12-hour or 24-hour format, and give breaks in minutes or as HH:MM. If you add an optional hourly wage, the earnings summary prices the week for you: regular pay, overtime pay and total pay, next to the hours they came from.
An employee works Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:30, with a 30-minute unpaid break each day: 8 working hours a day, 40 hours for the week, no overtime. A Saturday shift of 4 hours takes the week to 44 hours, and the calculator re-splits it as 40 regular hours and 4 overtime hours — the split that is easy to miss on paper and expensive to get wrong on a payslip. A night worker's 22:00 to 06:00 shift is counted across midnight as the same 8 hours, not as a negative or a day lost. Entries are saved automatically in your browser's local storage, so a week can be built up day by day on the same device and exported when it is complete.
Employees use it to check a payslip against the hours they actually worked, freelancers and contractors to bill clients accurately, and small employers to price a week's payroll before running it. Your entries never leave your device. Free, with no sign-up.

Enter your start and end times for each day, add breaks in minutes or HH:MM format, and the calculator works out the daily and weekly totals automatically, split into regular and overtime hours.
Hours over 8 in a single day or over 40 in a week are flagged as overtime. Add an hourly wage and the earnings summary shows regular pay, overtime pay and the total.
They are detected and counted correctly — a 22:00 to 06:00 shift is 8 hours worked, assigned across the night rather than breaking the day's total.
