Free weekly timesheet template
Use this as a weekly time sheet: one row per shift, an unpaid lunch column, a 40-hour overtime cutoff you can change, and an optional hourly rate. Calculate on the page and download a CSV for your records or for payroll.
Columns on a clear timesheet
| Column | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Day | Weekday or date, such as Mon or 2026-11-09 |
| Start | Clock-in time (9am, 09:00, or 9:00 AM) |
| End | Clock-out time. For an overnight shift, use the next morning, such as 6:30am |
| Unpaid break | Lunch or other unpaid minutes. Use 0 if you already clocked out for the meal |
| Hours | Calculated: elapsed time minus the break, in hours:minutes and decimal hours |
| Week total | Sum of the rows, split into regular and overtime |
Sample week already filled in
The form above starts with Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and a 30-minute lunch. That is 7.5 hours a day and 37.5 hours for the week. Change Friday to 5:30 p.m. and the week becomes 38 hours. Add a Saturday 9:00–1:00 and you cross 40 hours, and overtime appears if you leave the weekly cutoff at 40.

Tips for a timesheet that payroll can use
- Use the same time format all the way down, and the same workweek as your employer (for many U.S. workplaces, Sunday–Saturday or Monday–Sunday).
- Do not average two weeks. If you are paid biweekly, fill one sheet per workweek so overtime is not missed.
- Write unpaid lunches in minutes, not as a second start/end, unless you actually clocked out.
- Keep a copy of the CSV. This site does not keep old timesheets.
