Total up timecard hours
Clock in, clock out, subtract the break — per day and for the whole period. Overnight shifts handled.

The job
Timesheets pile up as clock-in/out pairs plus unpaid breaks. Totalling them by hand is error-prone — especially across midnight.
Total
Fill each row's start, end, and break minutes; add rows for more days. The tool gives per-day hours (both 8.5 and 8:30 forms) and a grand total.
- An end earlier than the start is read as rolling past midnight — 22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours.
- Breaks are whole minutes; a break longer than the shift errors instead of going negative.
Worked example
Five days of 09:00–17:30 with a 45-minute break: 7.75 h each, 38.75 h total — the total reads 38:45 too.
Where it stops
12 rows, HH:MM times, minute breaks — no overtime rules, pay rates, or rounding policies. It computes hours; payroll rules belong to the employer's system.
