Weekly Timesheet Calculator
Add up a week of start and finish times, minus unpaid breaks, for total paid hours, decimal hours and ordinary-time gross pay. Handles night shifts.
Enter the start and finish time for each day worked. Leave both blank for a day off. A finish time earlier than the start is treated as the next day.
Used for an ordinary-time gross pay estimate only. Enter 0 to show hours only.

Calculation breakdown
- Paid time each day
- Finish time − start time (plus 24 hours if past midnight) − unpaid break
- Total paid hours
- 37h 30m = 2,250 minutes ÷ 60 = 37.5 hours
- Gross pay at ordinary rate
- 37.5 hours × $35.00 = $1,312.50
Assumptions
- Each day covers a single shift of less than 24 hours; a finish time earlier than the start time is treated as the next day.
- Breaks entered are unpaid and are subtracted from the shift. Leave paid breaks out of the break field.
- Gross pay uses one ordinary hourly rate. Penalty rates, casual loading, allowances, overtime and tax are not included.
- Times are counted to the minute. Your employer may round start and finish times under an award, agreement or workplace policy.
How this calculator works
Enter your start and finish times for each day of the week, with any unpaid break, to total your paid hours for the week. The calculator handles overnight shifts, shows each day's paid time and estimates ordinary-time gross pay from your hourly rate.
Fill in a weekly timesheet
Enter the start and finish time for each day you worked and the unpaid break you took. Leave a day blank if you did not work. The calculator works out each day's paid time, then totals the week in hours and minutes and as decimal hours for payroll.
For example, 09:00 to 17:00 with a 30-minute unpaid break is 7 hours 30 minutes, or 7.5 hours. Five of those days make 37.5 hours, which is $1,312.50 before tax at an ordinary rate of $35 an hour.
- Times can be entered to the minute in 24-hour or 12-hour format, depending on your device
- A finish time earlier than the start counts as the next morning
- Each day's paid time is shown in a daily breakdown
Check the total against your payslip
Under the National Employment Standards, a full-time employee can be asked to work up to 38 ordinary hours a week plus reasonable additional hours. The calculator flags weeks above 38 hours, but whether extra hours attract overtime depends on your award, agreement or contract.
Employers may round start and finish times or pay some breaks, and casual loading, penalty rates and allowances can change the dollar amount. Keep your own record of hours and raise any difference with your employer or the Fair Work Ombudsman.

Frequently asked questions
How do I enter a shift that finishes after midnight?
Enter the real finish time, such as 02:00. A finish time earlier than the start time is treated as the next morning, so a 22:00 to 06:00 shift counts as 8 hours before breaks.
Does it deduct my unpaid breaks?
Yes. Enter the unpaid break minutes for each day and they are subtracted from that day's shift. Leave paid breaks out of the break field.
Does it work out overtime or penalty rates?
No. Gross pay uses one ordinary hourly rate. It flags weeks above the 38 ordinary hours in the National Employment Standards, but overtime and penalty rates depend on your award, agreement or contract.
