💡 Regular vs Overtime
42.5 total hours at a 40-hour threshold splits into 40 regular hours (40 × $20 = $800) plus 2.5 overtime hours at 1.5x ($20 × 1.5 × 2.5 = $75), for a total of $875.
🧮 How Time Card Hours & Overtime Are Calculated
Daily Hours
Hours Worked = (Clock Out − Clock In) − (Break Minutes / 60)
Weekly Total
Total Hours = Sum of all daily hours worked across the week.
Regular vs Overtime Split
Regular Hours = min(Total Hours, Overtime Threshold). Overtime Hours = max(0, Total Hours − Threshold).
Total Pay
Total Pay = (Regular Hours × Hourly Rate) + (Overtime Hours × Hourly Rate × 1.5)
💡 Real-World Examples & Use Cases
Three verified weekly timesheet examples.
5 days, 9:00-18:00, 30-min break, $20/hr
8.5 hours/day × 5 days = 42.5 total hours.
Result: 40 regular hrs ($800.00) + 2.5 OT hrs ($75.00) = $875.00.
5 days, 9:00-17:30, 30-min break, $25/hr
8.0 hours/day × 5 days = 40.0 total hours (exactly at the threshold).
Result: 40 regular hrs, 0 OT hrs → $1,000.00.
5 days, 8:00-16:00, no break, $18/hr
8.0 hours/day × 5 days = 40.0 total hours.
Result: 40 regular hrs, 0 OT hrs → $720.00.
🔍 People Also Ask
What is time-and-a-half?
Time-and-a-half means 1.5x your normal hourly rate, the standard US overtime premium for hours worked beyond the weekly threshold.
Does lunch break count as work time?
Unpaid lunch breaks do not count as hours worked and should be subtracted from your clocked time.
What's the standard overtime threshold in the US?
40 hours per week is the standard federal (FLSA) threshold, though some states add daily overtime rules too.
⚠️ Common Mistakes & Pro Tips
- Forgetting to subtract breaks: Unpaid lunch or rest breaks must be deducted from clocked time before totaling hours.
- Using daily instead of weekly overtime: This calculator uses weekly overtime (over 40 hrs/week) by default — some states require daily overtime rules too.
- Miscounting AM/PM: Double-check clock-in and clock-out times, especially for shifts near noon or midnight.
- Forgetting overtime is calculated on total weekly hours: Overtime applies once total hours exceed the threshold for the week, not per individual day (unless your state requires daily OT).
- Not verifying local labor law: Overtime rules vary by state and country — confirm your jurisdiction's specific thresholds before running payroll.
