How this calculation works

A time card totals daily clock-in and clock-out punches into weekly worked hours. Unpaid meal breaks (typically 30 minutes or more) are deducted under FLSA — the employee is completely relieved of duty.

Once weekly hours exceed 40, federal law requires 1.5× on the excess.

How this Time Clock Calculator With Lunch Deduction works — 2026 guide

A time clock calculator with lunch deduction is the fastest way to turn raw punch-in/punch-out times into accurate weekly pay. This 2026 version totals daily hours, automatically subtracts unpaid meal breaks of 30 minutes or more (FLSA-compliant), and applies 1.5× overtime to anything past 40 in the workweek. No spreadsheet, no signup — just enter your times and read the result.

How to use it in 3 steps

  1. Enter daily clock-in and clock-out times for each day of the workweek.
  2. Set the unpaid lunch break length (the calculator deducts it before totaling hours).
  3. Read net weekly hours, regular vs 1.5× overtime split, and gross pay at your hourly rate.

Who this is for

Hourly employees verifying their paycheck, small employers running payroll manually, and shift leads tracking a team. It lines up with the [work hours with lunch break guide](/blog/how-to-calculate-work-hours-with-lunch-break-deductions/) and the [break time deduction calculator](/tools/break-time-deduction-calculator/) for the legal meal-break rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the lunch break get deducted automatically?
Yes — enter the break minutes per day and the calculator subtracts them from worked time before computing pay. Unpaid meal breaks of 30+ minutes are not counted as hours worked under FLSA.
How is overtime handled across multiple days?
The calculator totals all daily worked hours for the week, then pays 1.5× on any portion over 40 — the standard federal rule.
