How do you calculate weekly work hours?
Calculate the net duration of each daily shift after breaks, then add all seven daily totals. Days without a shift contribute zero hours.
The optional pay estimate multiplies exact net minutes by the entered hourly rate without taxes or legal assumptions.
Weekly hours = sum of seven daily net shift totals.
Worked example
Five 8-hour weekdays and two empty weekend days total 40 hours for the week.
What belongs in the weekly total
Use this page when the decision is the combined seven-day result. It intentionally keeps the weekly sum separate from a detailed multi-shift time card or a two-week pay period.
- Days worked
- Enter each scheduled day and leave unused days blank; blank weekend rows contribute zero.
- Overnight shifts
- A shift that crosses midnight remains assigned to the day on which it started, preventing the hours from being counted twice.
- Pay estimate
- An entered hourly rate produces a simple gross estimate. Taxes, deductions, and jurisdiction-specific overtime rules are outside this page.
Important cases
- Weekend days may be left blank.
- Overnight shifts remain attached to the day on which they start.
