Military Time Card Calculator

Enter weekly shifts with 24-hour time labels, automatic midnight crossing, and an optional hourly rate.

Use the 24-hour clock values as start and end times, calculate each shift duration, and subtract its unpaid breaks. The notation changes how times are displayed, not how duration is calculated.

How do you calculate a military time card?

Use the 24-hour clock values as start and end times, calculate each shift duration, and subtract its unpaid breaks. The notation changes how times are displayed, not how duration is calculated.

The engine uses the same exact minutes as every time card; only the clock presentation is fixed to 24-hour format.

Daily net duration = 24-hour end time − start time − breaks.

Worked example

A shift from 0800 to 1600 is 8 hours, so five identical shifts total 40 hours.

Important cases
  • 2200 to 0600 is treated as an overnight shift.
  • Military presentation does not change the underlying duration math.
