A free biweekly time card calculator for 14-day pay periods
Biweekly pay means fourteen days and twenty-six paychecks a year. Whether you call it a biweekly time card calculator or a2 week time card calculator, the job is the same: fourteen rows of clock-in and clock-out times, unpaid breaks deducted per day, and overtime assessed correctly. This one is free, needs no account, and exports to Excel, CSV or PDF.
Why biweekly overtime trips people up
Biweekly is the most common pay cycle in the United States, and it is also where overtime is most often miscalculated. The temptation is to add up all fourteen days and compare the total to 80 hours. That is wrong.
The Fair Labor Standards Act sets the overtime threshold at 40 hours in a single seven-day workweek. A pay period is an accounting convenience; the workweek is the legal unit. Two weeks that total 70 hours can still carry overtime.
A worked example
| Week | Hours | Regular | Overtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | 50 | 40 | 10 |
| Week 2 | 20 | 20 | 0 |
| Period total | 70 | 60 | 10 |
Compare the 70-hour total against an 80-hour threshold and you would report zero overtime, underpaying by ten hours at time and a half. This calculator reports the 10 hours because it never merges the two weeks.
Setting up your card
- Set Period starts to the first day of your pay period.
- Enter clock-in and clock-out times for each day worked.
- Add unpaid break minutes where a lunch was taken.
- Choose the overtime rule your employer follows.
- Add an hourly rate if you want gross pay.
Leave days off blank — empty rows are simply skipped, and a row with only one punch is flagged rather than silently counted as zero.

Frequently asked questions
Is overtime calculated over 80 hours in a biweekly period?
No, and this is the single most common payroll mistake. Under the FLSA, overtime is owed on hours past 40 in each seven-day workweek. A 50-hour week followed by a 20-hour week is 70 hours total but still 10 hours of overtime, because the first week broke 40. This calculator splits the 14 days into two weeks and scores each one separately.
What date should I use as the period start?
Use the first day of your pay period. The calculator groups days into seven-day weeks starting from that date, so setting it correctly is what makes the overtime split line up with your employer’s workweek.
Can I use this for a semi-monthly pay period?
Semi-monthly is a different cycle — twice a month rather than every two weeks — so use the monthly and semi-monthly calculator instead. Biweekly always means 14 days and 26 paychecks a year.
How do I print a two-week card?
Press Print. The print layout drops the navigation, buttons, and settings, keeping the employee name, pay period, all fourteen rows, and the totals.
