More on timeclock.now

timeclock.now is a free online time clock and a working set of tools for hours worked. Punch in and out as the day goes, total a week on the time card calculator with breaks and overtime, measure a single span with hours between two times, or convert 7:45 into the 7.75 payroll needs with the decimal converter. Everything runs and saves in your own browser — no account, no upload.

Built around the two notations

Nearly every time-card mistake comes from the same place: hours are recorded in base sixty and paid in decimals. Every tool here shows both, every time, so the conversion is never left to memory. Our guides cover calculating hours by hand, rounding rules, break deductions, overtime thresholds and the pay-period patterns behind them.

Private by design

Punches and time cards are saved in your browser's local storage and nowhere else. That keeps the tool instant and keeps your working hours your own — but it also means clearing your browser data clears the record, so treat a long-running card as you would a paper one.

Frequently asked questions

Is timeclock.now free?
Yes — free, no signup, no download, no employee limit because everything runs locally.
Is my time data private?
Yes. Punches and time cards are stored in your browser on your device. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is stored by us.
How do I calculate hours worked?
Subtract the start time from the end time, deduct unpaid breaks, then convert the minutes to decimal hours for payroll. The time card calculator does all three steps.
What is 45 minutes in decimal hours?
0.75 hours. Minutes are divided by 60, so 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75 — not 0.45, which is the error the decimal converter exists to prevent.
Does this replace payroll software?
No. It calculates and records hours accurately, but there is no approval workflow, multi-employee roster or payroll export.
