Managing your weekly work hours can be confusing when done on paper or in spreadsheets. Whether you're an employee, freelancer, or running a small business, this tool helps you stay on top of your time and pay.
The Work Hours Calculator lets you enter your daily shift timings, subtract any break duration, and instantly see how many hours you've worked. It is useful if your schedule changes every day or if you want to monitor how close you are to crossing into overtime.

Let's say you work from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a 1-hour break and want to calculate hours worked, then All you have to do is enter those times, and the calculator does the rest. It adds up your hours for the day and repeats that across the week. If you have the same shift from Monday to Friday, you can copy Monday's input to all days with a single click. This saves time and avoids repetitive typing.

What Is a Timesheet?

A timesheet is a simple document used to record the number of hours a person has worked during a specific period usually daily or weekly. It helps track when you started and finished work, how long your breaks were, and how many hours you actually worked in total.

Timesheets are commonly used by companies to calculate salaries or wages. For freelancers and part-time workers, they act as proof of work and help ensure accurate billing to clients. In many offices, employees are required to fill out their timesheet at the end of each week, noting down hours worked each day.

Modern timesheets are not always on paper. They are often digital and auto-calculated, just like what this calculator does allowing you to input your hours and get a neat summary without manual math.

If you're managing your schedule, submitting hours to a manager, or billing clients based on time, having a timesheet makes everything more transparent and organized.

How to Use Work Hours Calculator

Start by selecting your day off, start time, end time, and break (in minutes) for each day of the week. The break is optional, but if you want precise net hours, it's best to include it. You can choose whether to exclude the break from total hours or not tick the checkbox if you want it ignored.

If you are not working on a particular day Let's say, Sunday or a mid-week holiday then you can tick the day off box and that day will be skipped from the calculation.

You can also enter your hourly pay rate to estimate your total earnings for the week. The calculator will show the total number of hours you worked, any overtime beyond your set weekly threshold (like 40 hours), and your payable amount based on your input rate.

Once calculated, Below is the list of summaries, which you will see in the output section:

  • Total hours worked
  • Overtime hours
  • Payable hours
  • Estimated earnings (if the hourly rate is added)
