About the Time Card Calculator
The Time Card Calculator is a complete Excel timesheet built for hourly employees and small business payroll. It covers a full two-week pay period with daily rows for clock-in, break start, break end, and clock-out times. Built-in formulas automatically compute daily total hours, separating regular time from overtime beyond 8 hours per day. Conditional formatting highlights overtime in bold red for easy identification. The template includes fields for employee name, manager, and hourly rate, with data validation ensuring all time entries are properly formatted. Weekly and biweekly totals calculate pay automatically. For a broader time-tracking workflow, see our timesheet template or pair this with the payroll template for end-to-end pay processing.
