How this biweekly hour calculator works
A biweekly pay period covers 14 days — two workweeks, paid every other week, which usually means 26 paychecks a year. Enter your start and end times for each day you worked, plus any unpaid break, and the calculator adds up your hours for each week.
Overtime is counted week by week. Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, hours over 40 in a workweek are overtime, paid at least one and a half times your regular rate. Each week is checked separately, so 45 hours in week 1 and 35 in week 2 means 5 hours of overtime, even though the two weeks add up to 80.
Some employers set their time clocks to round start and end times. Federal rules allow rounding to the nearest 5 minutes, tenth of an hour (6 minutes) or quarter hour (15 minutes), as long as it evens out over time. Pick the rounding your employer uses: each time is rounded to the nearest step, so with quarter-hour rounding 8:07 becomes 8:00 and 8:08 becomes 8:15. With no rounding, every minute counts.
This 2-week hour calculator shows your totals in hours and minutes (80:30) and in decimal hours (80.50), so you can compare them with your pay stub. Add your hourly rate to see your gross pay before taxes.
Questions
Can I use this as a bi-weekly time card calculator with lunch breaks?
Yes. Type your unpaid lunch in minutes in the box after each day's end time, or tap 30 or 60 to give every day of a week the same break. A lunch is unpaid only when you're fully off duty for it. Short rest breaks of 5 to 20 minutes count as paid work time under federal rules, so leave those out.
Does it work for night shifts?
Yes. When the end time is the same as or earlier than the start time, the calculator counts it as the next day, so 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM is 8 hours. A night shift counts in the week it starts; if your workweek ends during a shift, your employer may count the rest in the next week. In most of the US, clocks change for daylight saving time on two nights a year. The calculator goes by the times on the clock, so on those nights adjust the end time to match the hours you worked: one hour later in November, when clocks fall back, and one hour earlier in March, when they spring forward.
Does it follow my state's overtime law?
It uses the federal rule: overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek. Some states add their own rules. California law, for example, also requires overtime for hours over 8 in a workday. If your state has a rule like that, your overtime may be higher than shown here.
Are my hours saved or sent anywhere?
Your hours stay in this browser and are never sent to us or anyone else, and there's no account to create. The page saves every change, so you can fill in the two weeks as they go by. Safari may delete saved site data if you use Safari for 7 days without using this site, so use Copy result or Print to keep a record.
How do I send my time card for the 2 weeks to my boss?
Tap Copy result and paste it into a text or email. It lists each week's total and overtime, your pay if you added a rate, and a line for every day you worked. Or tap Print to print a timesheet with lines for your name, signature and date.
