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. This calculator automates that split, but it applies the federal weekly rule only. California workers should use the California calculator to capture daily overtime.

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. State daily overtime is not applied here; use the state calculators for that.
