How do I calculate weekly work hours?

For each day, subtract the clock-in time from the clock-out time, then subtract the unpaid break. Add the seven days together for the weekly total. This calculator does all of that as you type, including days that run past midnight.

What counts as overtime in a week?

Standard weekly hours in the UAE are 48. Time worked beyond 48 hours in a week is generally treated as overtime, which this tool separates out for you. Overtime pay rates are then applied on top.

Does it handle night shifts that cross midnight?

Yes. When the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the calculator assumes the shift ran overnight and adds the hours after midnight automatically.

Weekly total

Standard (up to 48)

Over 48 hours

Estimate only. It totals worked time from your entries and flags hours above 48; it does not apply overtime pay rates or shift rules. Confirm final figures against your contract and payroll policy.

Why doing this by hand costs you

This is the sum many UAE business owners run on paper every week. Across dozens of staff, small errors and rounded-up minutes add up to paid hours no one worked. An attendance system records the real time at the door and totals it on its own.

Once you have the hours, price the overtime on top with the overtime calculator, or see the time attendance software that does the whole week automatically.
