What Time Card Calculator does, with a checked example
A workweek in, a paycheck-math problem out: give this tool a start and end time for each day plus your hourly rate, and it returns total hours, overtime hours, regular pay, overtime pay, and gross pay. It works in decimal hours - a shift of 8 hours 30 minutes shows as 8.5, and reading that as 8 hours 5 minutes is the classic mistake. Anything past 40 hours is split off at 1.5 times the rate - check that part: the 40-hour, time-and-a-half model is the U.S. federal default, not every employer's rule. Everything runs in the browser; your times and rates are not uploaded anywhere.
Worked example
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Hourly rate: $20.00
Mon 09:00-17:00
Tue 09:00-17:30
Wed 09:00-17:00
Thu 09:00-17:00
Fri 09:00-17:00
->
Expected output
Total hours: 40.5 (regular 40.0, overtime 0.5)
Regular pay: $800.00
Overtime pay: $15.00
Gross pay: $815.00
Five 8-hour days sum to 40 hours, and Tuesday's extra half hour lands on top, so 0.5 of the week's 40.5 hours counts as overtime. At 1.5 times the $20 rate, that half hour pays $15, added to $800 for the 40 regular hours, for $815 gross.
