Loading your saved weeks…

Weekly Pay Tracker, printed from employeecalculators.com/weekly-pay-tracker/. Estimates of gross amounts before taxes and deductions, based on the values entered; not payroll or legal advice.

How the weekly pay tracker works

  1. Enter this week. The tracker opens on the current week, starting Monday. Change the start date if your workweek begins on another day.
  2. Add clock times for each day you worked, plus any unpaid break in minutes. Add your hourly rate to see gross pay.
  3. Add the next week when it starts. "Next week with this schedule" copies the current days and pay settings so you only edit what changed.
  4. Review your history. The chart shows regular and overtime hours by week, the table lists every week, and Compare two weeks shows what changed.
  5. Keep a copy. Download a CSV for a spreadsheet, or a backup file you can restore later.

Weekly pay formula

Daily hours = time out − time in − unpaid breakA time out earlier than the time in is counted as the next day.
Weekly overtime = max(0, weekly hours − overtime limit)
Gross pay = regular hours × rate + overtime hours × rate × multiplier

Worked example: comparing two weeks

8:00 AM to 4:30 PM with a 30-minute break, $20.00 an hour, overtime after 40 hours

  1. Week 1, five normal days: 40.00 hours, 0.00 overtime, gross pay $800.00.
  2. Week 2 has two days that run to 6:30 PM: 44.00 hours, with 4.00 hours over 40.
  3. Week 2 gross pay: 40 × $20.00 + 4.00 × $30.00 = $920.00.
  4. Compared with week 1: +4.00 hours and +$120.00 before taxes.

Where your data lives

The tracker saves your weeks in this browser's local storage after every change. They never leave your device: there is no account and no server copy. That also means we cannot restore them if you clear your browser data, so download a backup now and then. Use Delete all saved weeks at the bottom of the tracker to remove everything.

The Department of Labor requires employers to keep records of hours worked and wages paid for non-exempt workers. A personal log is a useful way to check your paycheck against those records.

Assumptions

  • Each saved week is one seven-day workweek starting on the date you choose.
  • One shift per day. For split shifts or daily overtime rules, use the time card calculator.
  • Breaks you enter are unpaid and subtracted. Short paid breaks should not be entered.
  • Pay is gross, before taxes and deductions, at one hourly rate per week.

Frequently asked questions

Where are my weeks saved?

In your browser's local storage on this device only. Nothing is sent to a server, so we cannot see or recover your weeks. Clearing site data, using a private window, or switching devices will not show them. Use Download backup to keep a copy.

Can I move my weeks to another device?

Yes. Click Download backup to save a small JSON file, move it to the other device, then use Restore backup there. Restoring replaces the weeks saved in that browser.

How is overtime counted?

Each saved week is its own seven-day workweek. Hours over your weekly limit in that week are overtime. Weeks are never averaged together, which matches how federal FLSA overtime works. Leave the overtime field blank if your hours are not overtime-eligible.

Can I track a shift that ends after midnight?

Yes. If time out is earlier on the clock than time in, the shift is treated as ending the next day, and the hours count on the day the shift started.

Is the tracker an official time record?

No. Your employer is responsible for keeping official time and pay records. A personal log can help you check your paycheck and raise questions with payroll, but it does not replace your employer's records.
