Time Card Calculator With Breaks
Track your real working time with this time card calculator with breaks. Enter total break minutes for each day — one long lunch or several short breaks combined — and choose whether breaks are paid or unpaid. Unpaid minutes are deducted before totals; paid breaks stay in.

How to use this time card calculator with breaks
Enter clock-in and clock-out times for each day of the week. Overnight shifts are handled automatically — clocking out earlier than you clocked in rolls the shift into the next day.
Enter unpaid break or lunch minutes for each day, or tick “Breaks are paid” to keep them in the total.
Optionally choose an overtime rule (40h/week federal or California daily rules) and enter an hourly rate to see gross pay.
Read each day's total in the right-hand column and the grand total below the table, in h:mm or decimal hours.
Frequently asked questions
Are short breaks paid or unpaid?
Under federal law, short breaks of about 5 to 20 minutes count as paid working time. Longer meal periods where you're fully off duty are typically unpaid. This calculator supports both — use the “Breaks are paid” toggle.
How do I enter multiple breaks per day?
Sum them into one number. Two 15-minute breaks and a 30-minute lunch = 60 minutes in the Break column.
Do breaks affect overtime?
Yes — overtime thresholds apply to hours actually worked, so unpaid breaks are deducted before the calculator applies daily or weekly overtime rules.
