What a 40-hour-only calculator would have told you
$0.00
For these hours in California, the federal rule gives the same answer. The difference shows up on long days.
Built for how payroll actually works
Four things the other free calculators leave out, and why each one changes your number.
Daily overtime, not just weekly
Work four 11-hour days in California and you have 12 overtime hours — even though you never hit 40 that week.
Biweekly and semi-monthly
Most US payroll is not weekly. Overtime is still calculated per workweek inside the period, and this does that split for you.
The 7-minute rounding rule
Employers may round punches to the quarter hour. Switch it on to see whether rounding is costing you time.
Export, not just print
A CSV that drops straight into a spreadsheet, or a clean printable sheet for your records.
Overtime rules by state
Federal law sets the floor at 40 hours a week. Several states go further — and a handful of cities go further still.
