How Weekly Timesheet Calculator Works?
The Weekly Timesheet Calculator works by adding the hours from each day of the week and paying hours over 40 at 1.5×.
1Enter the hourly rate
Type the base wage, $24.00 by default.
2Enter daily hours
Add hours for Monday to Friday in decimal format, for example 8.5 for 8h 30m.
3Review the weekly total
8.5 + 9 + 8.5 + 10 + 8 = 44.0 hours.
4Read the paycheck
40 straight hours ($960.00) plus 4 overtime hours at $36.00 ($144.00) returns $1,104.00.
Weekly Timesheet Calculator Formula
The Weekly Timesheet Calculator formula is Total Hours = Mon + Tue + Wed + Thu + Fri + Sat + Sun.
Weekly total
Total = Σ Daily Hours
Overtime
OT = Max(0, Total − 40)
Weekly pay
Pay = Min(Total, 40) × Rate + OT × Rate × 1.5
- Daily Hours
- Net hours for each day, after unpaid breaks.
- Total
- Hours in the 7-day workweek.
- OT
- Hours above 40.
Worked example: 6-day week
Mon–Fri 8 hours each + Saturday 6 hours = 46 hours at $19.00.
Pay = (40 × $19.00) + (6 × $28.50) = $760.00 + $171.00 = $931.00.

What is Weekly Timesheet Calculator?
A Weekly Timesheet Calculator is a tool that totals daily hours into a weekly figure and separates federal overtime.
Timesheets are the source record for payroll. Entering hours in decimals (8.5, not 8:30) avoids the most common timesheet error, which treats 8:30 as 8.30 hours.
The weekly total is the number the FLSA tests against 40. Daily totals above 8 hours matter only in daily-overtime states.
