If I start at 8 AM and work 8 hours, when do I get off?

4:00 PM with no unpaid break, 4:30 PM with a 30-minute unpaid lunch, and 5:00 PM with a one-hour lunch.

How do I calculate my clock-out time?

Add the hours you need to work and your unpaid break to your clock-in time. 7:15 AM + 8 hours + 30 minutes = 3:45 PM. If the result passes midnight, you clock out the next day.

When do I clock out to hit 40 hours?

Subtract the hours you have worked this week from 40, then add what is left (plus any unpaid break) to today's clock-in time. With 32:15 done and a 9:00 AM start, you need 7:45 more: clock out at 4:45 PM, or 5:15 PM with a 30-minute lunch.

Hours worked	Clock out

Know where your week stands. Clockbird (iPhone) clocks you in with one tap, shows your shift and earnings on the Lock Screen, and keeps a running total of the week, so you can see when overtime starts. For a full week with breaks, use the free time card calculator.

How to work out your clock-out time

Add the hours you need to work and any unpaid break to the time you clocked in. Clock in at 7:15 AM, work 8 hours, take a 30-minute lunch: 7:15 + 8:00 + 0:30 = 3:45 PM. Hours can be typed as 8, 8.5 or 8:30 (8 hours 30 minutes); times as 7:15 AM, 715a or 0715 (military time works).

Paid breaks don't push your clock-out time back: under US federal rules, short breaks of 5 to 20 minutes are paid work time. Only meal breaks you clock out for (usually 30 minutes or more) are added.

Reaching 40 hours (and avoiding overtime)

Choose "reach a weekly total" and enter the hours you have already worked this week. The calculator subtracts them from 40 and adds the rest to today's start. With 32:15 done and a 9:00 AM start, you need 7:45 more: clock out at 4:45 PM, or 5:15 PM with a 30-minute lunch. Every minute after that is overtime under the federal 40-hour rule (time and a half for non-exempt employees). Some states, like California, also count overtime per day after 8 hours: check with the overtime calculator.

Not sure how many hours you have so far? Add up the week in the time card calculator, or convert hours and minutes with the time to decimal calculator if your pay stub shows 32.25.

FAQ

Does my employer's rounding change when I can leave?

It can. With the 7-minute rule, a punch at 4:37 PM counts as 4:30 and one at 4:38 counts as 4:45. Rounding should even out over time; see what it does to your real punches with the time clock rounding calculator.

Do I have to take a lunch break?

Federal law doesn't require meal breaks for adults, but many states do. In California, for example, a 30-minute meal period is required when you work more than 5 hours, and a second one after 10 hours (with some exceptions you can waive). Your state labor department lists the rules where you work.

What if my shift goes past midnight?

The calculator shows "next day" when your clock-out time is after midnight: 11:00 PM + 8 hours + 30 minutes = 7:30 AM the next day.
