WEEKLY & BIWEEKLY TIMESHEET CALCULATOR
Calculate work hours, breaks and overtime
Use the tool as a weekly timesheet calculator, biweekly timesheet calculator or simple time card calculator. It handles the time arithmetic while you control the working week, time display, currency and optional overtime threshold.
Start and finish time calculator
Enter when work started and finished and the calculator works out the shift duration. If the finish time is earlier than the start time, it treats the shift as continuing past midnight.
Unpaid breaks and total hours
Enter unpaid break minutes for each shift and they are deducted automatically. Weekly and biweekly timesheets show clear totals for the hours worked.
Optional overtime and pay estimate
Add an hourly rate if you want an estimated gross-pay figure. You choose the overtime threshold and multiplier because employment rules and contracts differ by workplace and jurisdiction.
Private by design
The public calculator works in your browser. It does not require an account or upload your timesheet entries to a Rota Generator workspace.

FAQ
Timesheet calculator questions
How do I calculate timesheet hours?
Enter the start time and finish time for each shift, then add any unpaid break in minutes. The calculator subtracts the break and totals the worked hours automatically.
Can I use this as a weekly or biweekly time card calculator?
Yes. Choose Weekly for a seven-day period or Biweekly / fortnightly for a fourteen-day period. The same calculator can be used as a simple employee time card or work-hours calculator.
How are unpaid breaks calculated?
Enter the unpaid break length in minutes for the relevant shift. Those minutes are deducted from that shift before the daily and period totals are calculated.
Can I calculate an overnight shift?
Yes. If the finish time is earlier than the start time, the calculator assumes the shift continued into the following day. For example, 22:00 to 06:00 is treated as an eight-hour span before breaks.
Can I use this in the UK, US, Canada, Australia or Europe?
Yes. The core hours calculation is country-neutral. Regional presets adjust common defaults such as week start, currency and time display, and you can change those settings manually.
Does the overtime estimate apply employment law automatically?
No. Overtime rules vary by country, state, province, award, collective agreement and employment contract. The optional overtime fields use the threshold and multiplier you choose; they are not legal or payroll advice.
Can I print the timesheet or save it as a PDF?
Yes. Click Print timesheet, then print it or choose your browser or operating system's Save as PDF option. You can also download the entries as CSV.
Does Rota Generator store the information I enter here?
No. This public calculator performs its calculations in your browser and does not save these entries to a Rota Generator account. Print or export anything you want to keep before leaving the page.
