Calculate a shift
Use your own employer's rules. Overtime can depend on jurisdiction, job type and averaging agreements. This example assumes a single threshold across all entered shifts.
Overnight shifts
If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator assumes the shift ends the following day.
Why gross pay?
This calculates earnings before taxes, deductions, holiday adjustments or other payroll rules. It is an estimate, not a payslip.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate paid hours?
Find the time between your clock-in and clock-out, then subtract unpaid breaks. For overnight work, include the following calendar day.
How does overtime work?
Set your threshold and multiplier. This tool treats hours above the entered threshold as overtime. It does not determine which employment law applies to you.
Is this a payroll calculator?
No. It does not calculate tax withholding, holiday pay, split rates, shift differentials, statutory deductions or jurisdiction-specific entitlements.
Can I save my shifts?
This web calculator does not store timesheets. For a dedicated iPhone tracker with a pay statement comparison, see EarnCheck above.
