Weekly total
Formula
Sum daily paid hours. Regular = min(weekly, threshold). Overtime = weekly − threshold (if positive).
Example calculation
45 hours worked at $20/h with 40 OT threshold: 40 × $20 + 5 × $20 × 1.5 = $800 + $150 = $950.
Common mistakes
- Forgetting that overtime is weekly, not daily, in most U.S. states.
- Setting OT threshold to 0 by accident.
About this calculator
What the Weekly Timesheet calculator does
Track Monday through Sunday entries with breaks, then split the week into regular and overtime hours and an estimated gross pay. The tool reports per-day totals, a weekly subtotal, and a clean overtime split based on the threshold you set, plus an optional pay estimate when you enter an hourly rate.
When to use it
Use it when you submit a weekly timesheet, when you want to verify a paycheck against the hours you remember working, or when a payroll question goes back and forth and you need a clean record to share. It is also useful for managers who want to model what a particular week's schedule will cost before approving extra shifts.
How the calculation works
Each day calculates paid minutes from start, end, and break. The week sums those minutes, sends anything past the threshold (40 hours by default) into overtime, and applies the hourly rate plus a 1.5x overtime multiplier. The threshold is configurable, so you can use this tool in jurisdictions or under contracts where overtime kicks in earlier.
How to read the result
The weekly total is the line that matters most because it should match the gross hours on your pay stub. Regular and overtime are split for clarity, and the pay figure is gross, before any taxes or deductions. The per-day cells help you spot a single bad entry without rebuilding the entire week.
Practical example
Forty-five hours at $20 an hour with a 1.5x overtime multiplier comes out to $800 in regular pay and $150 in overtime, for $950 gross for the week. The same total at a $30 rate is $1,200 regular and $225 overtime, totaling $1,425. Cutting a 9 hour day to 8 hours moves 1 hour from overtime back into regular and reduces gross by half an hour at the base rate.
Common limitation or caution
Several states use daily overtime, double time, or seventh-day rules that this tool does not model. The 40 hour weekly threshold is the federal default and does not capture every situation. Treat the result as an estimate, not a substitute for the official payroll system or an HR conversation when something looks off.

Before you use the result
Our calculators give quick payroll-time and pay estimates. Your final paycheck depends on factors this tool does not see, including employer policy, state and local rules, time clock rounding, paid versus unpaid breaks, premium pay, deductions, and how your payroll provider applies them.
- Confirm pay rules with your employer, payroll provider, or HR team.
- Overtime, breaks, and rounding rules can change by state.
