How to calculate it
- Start with your clock-in time.
- Add 8 paid hours.
- Add unpaid lunch or break minutes.
- Apply any workplace rounding rule only after you find the raw time.
When 8 hours may create overtime
If you already worked 34 paid hours earlier in the week, an 8 hour shift would bring you to 42 paid hours. With a 40 hour weekly overtime threshold, 2 hours may be overtime. Use the calculator's overtime multiplier option to estimate pay at 1x, 1.5x, or 2x.
