About ClearTimeCard
Last updated: 2026-11-13
What ClearTimeCard is
ClearTimeCard is a free web calculator that adds up work hours and estimates overtime for US hourly workers. It is made for retail and food-service staff, small-business owners, and payroll or HR staff. You enter your start and end times, and it shows your total hours. You do not need to sign up.
Who makes it
ClearTimeCard is built and maintained by one independent developer. There is no large team behind it, and we do not claim otherwise. ClearTimeCard is not affiliated with the U.S. Department of Labor or the California Department of Industrial Relations. Page text is drafted with AI assistance and checked against official sources by the developer before it is published.
How the calculators work
ClearTimeCard has four tools, and each one does simple arithmetic on the times you enter.
- Weekly time card calculator: adds up a full week of shifts.
- Time card calculator with lunch breaks: subtracts unpaid lunch time from each shift.
- Overtime calculator: estimates overtime under the federal FLSA and under California daily and weekly rules.
- Hours calculator: finds the time between two times.
The tools support overnight shifts and unpaid breaks.
Your data
Your times stay on your device and are never uploaded or sent to us. The weekly time card on the home, lunch, and overtime pages saves your entries only in your own browser (localStorage), so you can come back to them; the hours calculator saves nothing. There are no accounts and no sign-up. We use privacy-friendly, cookie-free page-view analytics to see which pages are used; it does not include the times you enter. See our Privacy Policy.
Limits and disclaimer
ClearTimeCard gives arithmetic estimates, not legal, payroll, or tax advice. Exemptions, union contracts, state and local rules, and employer policies can change your result. For overtime rules, use the official sources:
- U.S. Department of Labor: Overtime
- DOL Fact Sheet #23: Overtime Pay Requirements of the FLSA
- California DIR: Overtime FAQ
