What is a timesheet generator?
A timesheet generator helps you turn daily work times into a finished timesheet. Enter the date, time in, time out, and unpaid break for each workday. The tool calculates daily hours, total hours, regular pay, overtime pay, and gross pay.
Use it when you need a simple timesheet for client billing, payroll review, contractor records, or your own weekly time log. You can add your company details, employee details, notes, and a logo, then download the finished timesheet as a PDF.
Why use an automated timesheet calculator?
Manual timesheet math is easy to get wrong. Breaks, overnight shifts, and 15-minute increments can create small errors that affect pay. This calculator converts time entries into decimal hours automatically, so you can check the totals before you send the timesheet.
The generator runs in your browser and doesn't require an account. Drafts can be saved on your device, and share links put the timesheet details inside the URL. Anyone with that link can view the details, so use PDF download when the timesheet contains sensitive payroll or client information.
If you need to bill for the hours after the timesheet is approved, use our Invoice Generator to create a matching invoice.
How to use this timesheet generator
1. Add the basics. Enter your name, the company or client name, and the pay period dates.
2. Log work time and breaks. Add time in, time out, and unpaid break minutes for each day. The preview updates the daily hours and total hours as you type.
3. Add rates and download. Enter your hourly rate, optional overtime rate, and optional overtime hours. Download the PDF or copy a share link if the details are safe to share by URL.
4. Add optional PDF details if needed. Use the lower optional section only when you want a logo, approver name, role, employee ID, or company address on the PDF.
