Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate overtime with this hours calculator?
HoursWorkedCalculator.com makes overtime calculation easy. Configure your
overtime rules in the settings panel. Choose weekly overtime (1.5x pay after 40 hours),
daily overtime (1.5x after 8 hours per day), or California rules (both daily and weekly).
The calculator automatically computes overtime hours and displays them separately
from regular hours.
What's the difference between decimal and standard time format?
Our hours worked calculator displays both formats simultaneously. Standard format
shows hours and minutes (like 8:30), while decimal format shows fractional hours
(like 8.50). Decimal hours are often used for payroll systems, while standard
format is easier to read. Both represent the same amount of time.
Is my timesheet data saved on HoursWorkedCalculator.com?
Yes! All timesheet data is automatically saved in your browser's local storage
as you type. Your information never leaves your device and remains completely
private. You can close the browser and return later - your hours will still be there.
However, if you clear your browser data, the timesheet will be reset.
Can I print my timesheet from the hours calculator?
Absolutely! Click the "Print Timesheet" button to generate a professional,
printer-friendly version of your timecard. The printout includes all your work hours,
break times, totals, and the week date range. It's formatted to fit on a single page
and suitable for workplace submission to your employer or payroll department.
Does HoursWorkedCalculator.com work on mobile phones?
Yes! Our hours worked calculator is fully responsive and works perfectly on
smartphones, tablets, and desktop computers. The interface adapts to your screen
size for easy data entry whether you're on an iPhone, Android device, or computer.
How accurate are the overtime calculations?
HoursWorkedCalculator.com uses precise integer-based arithmetic to ensure
100% accurate time calculations. We follow standard US labor law overtime rules
(FLSA) including weekly overtime, daily overtime, and California-specific regulations.
The calculator properly handles edge cases like overnight shifts and prevents
"pyramiding" errors in combined daily/weekly overtime calculations.
