Biweekly Time Card Calculator
Calculate work hours across two weeks, subtract unpaid breaks, and see weekly and biweekly totals.
How to use the biweekly time card calculator
Enter each shift in Week 1 or Week 2, choosing AM or PM for both times. Leave days off blank. Each week's subtotal appears below its seven days, followed by the combined two-week total. Copy or print the summary once all entered shifts are valid.
How biweekly hours are calculated
Biweekly worked minutes = Week 1 worked minutes + Week 2 worked minutes
The calculator adds whole worked minutes before converting to decimal hours. A partly entered or invalid day is excluded and clearly flagged; the remaining hours are labeled a valid-days subtotal until you correct it.
Break deductions
Enter unpaid breaks as whole minutes for each day. Paid breaks do not need a deduction. A break can equal the shift length, giving zero worked hours, but cannot exceed it.
Overnight shifts
An earlier clock-out time is treated as the next day. For example, 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM with a 30-minute break gives 7h 30m. The entire shift belongs to the row where you enter it; it is not split at midnight or between weeks.
Weekly vs. biweekly totals
A biweekly period covers two weeks, not half a calendar month. The two Monday-through-Sunday subtotals stay separate so you can review each week before using the combined total.
This tool totals worked time only. It does not determine overtime eligibility, overtime pay, or payroll rounding rules. Check your employer's policy and applicable rules before using the results for payroll.
For a single week, use the Time Card Calculator. For irregular entries or a different period, use the flexible Timesheet Calculator.
Worked example
Five shifts from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, each with a 60-minute break, total 40h 00m in Week 1. If Week 2 has five shifts with 30-minute breaks instead, that week totals 42h 30m.
The combined result is 82h 30m, 82.50 decimal hours, or 4,950 worked minutes. Use the Decimal Hours Calculator for a standalone hours-and-minutes conversion.
Frequently asked questions
Does this calculator apply overtime automatically?
No. Weekly and combined totals describe worked time, without applying legal overtime rules or a pay rate.
Can I leave one week empty?
Yes. Empty days contribute zero, so you can enter a partial pay period. The other week's hours still appear in the combined total.
Do identical clock-in and clock-out times mean 24 hours?
No. Matching times with the same AM/PM selection mean zero hours. This tool supports shifts shorter than 24 hours.
What if my period does not run Monday through Sunday?
Use the Timesheet Calculator to add dated or undated sessions for a custom period. For one quick shift with a break, use the Work Hours Calculator.
Are time card entries saved or uploaded?
No. Entries and copied summaries are processed in your browser. Reloading the page clears the card. Calculator analytics events do not include clock times, breaks, or totals.
