DayStartEndBreak (min)Hours

Enter start and end times and break minutes for each day to get daily hours, the weekly total in hours and minutes and in decimal hours, overtime over 40 hours and gross pay at your hourly rate. Overnight shifts are handled.

What does this tool do?

Adds up work hours from clock-in/out times across days — the classic time-card calculator — with lunch breaks deducted and overtime totalled. Outputs decimal hours and hours:minutes.

Because the math runs locally, the Hours Calculator (Time Card) works offline after the page loads and never queues behind a server — handy during load-shedding or on slow mobile data. There is nothing to install and no account to create; the page is the whole application, ready in the time it takes to open a tab.

Using it is simple: the inputs are “Hourly rate (optional)” and “Currency symbol (optional)”. Results update live as you work — there is no waiting and nothing to submit.

How do I use this tool?

Enter your figures below — every result updates the instant you type, so comparing scenarios is just a matter of changing a number and watching the answer move.

  1. Enter your values in “Hourly rate (optional)”, “Currency symbol (optional)”.
  2. Results update instantly as you type — no button to press.

How does it work?

Each shift’s duration = out − in − break; durations sum across the week. Decimal hours (7.5) and clock format (7:30) are both shown, since payroll systems usually want decimals.

The formula used is the standard one taught and published for this calculation — the tool does not invent methods. Where conventions differ (rounding, day-count, tax treatment), the page follows the common Pakistani practice and says so, so the result matches what local institutions expect.

Use cases in Pakistan

Pakistani offices, factories, call centres and domestic employers total weekly hours for payroll; freelancers log billable hours for clients; and guards/drivers with shift duties verify their monthly hours. The overtime row settles “how many extra hours?” disputes.

Families use it for household budgeting and school-fee planning; small businesses for pricing and payroll math; students for everything from BISE numericals to CSS preparation. Wherever the same calculation is repeated monthly — bills, salaries, savings targets — this page replaces the phone-calculator ritual.

Limitations

It totals time, not pay — overtime rates, night differentials and EOBI deductions are separate calculations. Enter times honestly; the tool cannot verify attendance.

Assumptions are stated on the page — read them before trusting the headline number for money, health or legal decisions. A calculator amplifies the quality of its inputs: careful numbers in, trustworthy numbers out.

Frequently asked questions

How do I add 8:30 + 7:45?

Convert to minutes (510 + 465 = 975) = 16:15, or 16.25 decimal hours. The tool sums clock times directly. For figures that go into applications or documents, double-check the inputs against the source — the math is exact, but only for the numbers you enter.

What are decimal hours?

7:30 = 7.5 hours. Payroll multiplies the decimal by the hourly rate — that is why both formats are shown. Try varying one input at a time to see which assumption drives the result; that sensitivity check is often more valuable than the headline number.

How do I deduct lunch?

Enter the break length per day; it subtracts from each shift before totalling. Save or screenshot the result with its inputs when the figure matters later — reconstructing “what did I enter?” is harder than it sounds.

Does it calculate overtime pay?

It totals overtime hours. Multiply by your overtime rate for the pay figure. For figures that go into applications or documents, double-check the inputs against the source — the math is exact, but only for the numbers you enter.

Is my data uploaded or stored?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — what you type or paste never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is never stored. Closing the tab removes all trace. Try varying one input at a time to see which assumption drives the result; that sensitivity check is often more valuable than the headline number.

Is it really free? Do I need an account?

Yes, free, and no account needed. Open the page and use it — no sign-up, no trial, no watermark on results. Save or screenshot the result with its inputs when the figure matters later — reconstructing “what did I enter?” is harder than it sounds.
