TimecardKit is for people who track hours: hourly workers checking a paycheck, and small business owners preparing payroll. The site has been online since September 2026. The calculators and printable time cards are free, need no account, and run in your browser, so the times you type are not sent to us.
TimecardKit is not a payroll provider, law firm or government agency, and it is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor or any state agency. The results are estimates to help you check your numbers.
What is here
- Calculators for a weekly time card, a biweekly time card and the 2027 biweekly payroll calendar, a semi-monthly timesheet, a monthly timesheet, lunch punches, clock-out times, overtime pay, California overtime, hours between two times and adding hours and minutes.
- Conversion charts for minutes to decimal hours and military time, each also as a one-page PDF.
- Forms to print: printable time cards, weekly, biweekly or monthly, and an employee sign-in sheet, as PDF, Excel, Word or CSV.
- Year calendars for rotating shifts on the shift calendar.
Where the rules come from
Overtime, breaks, rounding and record keeping follow the federal rules as the U.S. Department of Labor publishes them, in 29 CFR parts 516, 553, 778 and 785. California's daily overtime and meal periods follow the California Labor Commissioner, and the overtime tax deduction follows the IRS. Each page cites the section it relies on, next to the sentence that uses it. The main sources:
- Hours worked, rest breaks and meal periods: 29 CFR part 785 and the DOL's page on breaks and meal periods.
- Overtime and the regular rate: 29 CFR part 778 and DOL Fact Sheet #23.
- Time records and how long to keep them: 29 CFR part 516 and DOL Fact Sheet #21.
- Work periods for fire and police departments: 29 CFR part 553 and DOL Fact Sheet #8.
- California overtime, meal and rest periods: the California Labor Commissioner's answers on overtime and meal periods.
- The federal overtime deduction and Form W-2: the IRS's questions and answers.
- Federal holidays: OPM's list. State meal, rest and payday rules: the DOL's state tables, linked on the pages that use them.
How the numbers are checked
How we calculate explains each rule the calculators use, from lunch punches and rounding to overtime and the regular rate. Its worked examples, and the examples on the calculator pages, are also automated tests of the site's code.
- Every calculator, chart and table uses the same calculation code. The conversion charts, shift tables and calendar numbers are computed, not typed in by hand.
- The PDF, Word and Excel files are made by that code too, and tests compare what they print with the calculator's numbers.
- Each PDF is drawn at the exact paper size, 8.5 × 11 inches for US Letter or 210 × 297 mm for A4, and a test checks the size.
- Tables that change over time, such as OPM's holidays and the DOL's state tables, are copied from the official page, and the pages that use them link to it.
