Timesheet Calculator

Total a weekly timesheet and convert it into payable hours and pay.

About Timesheet Calculator

Summing daily hours in decimal form avoids the base-60 arithmetic errors that hours-and-minutes entry produces. The variance against a standard week is what triggers overtime or short-time adjustments. Timesheet disputes almost always come down to how partial hours were recorded, which is why quarter hour increments are the practical standard.

Formula

Timesheet

Total hours = sum of daily hours; gross pay = total hours × rate

variance: Difference from the contracted week, positive means extra hours worked
