- Check the box for each day worked. Unchecked days are excluded from totals. By default, Monday through Friday are enabled. Check Saturday or Sunday for weekend shifts.
- Enter your start and end times for each day using the hour, minute, and AM/PM fields. A standard 9 AM to 5 PM shift is already filled in as a starting point.
- Enter break time in minutes. This is subtracted from gross hours to give net working hours. A 30-minute unpaid lunch break is the default. Set to 0 if all breaks are paid.
- Enter your hourly rate to calculate gross pay. The calculator applies the overtime multiplier (default 1.5x) to any hours over 40 for the week. Adjust the multiplier if your employer uses a different rate such as 2x for holidays.
Example: Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 4:30 PM with a 30-minute break = 8 net hours per day, 40 hours for the week. At $22/hour, gross pay = $880 with no overtime.
