Mechanic Time Card Calculator — Timesheet for five 8-hour days plus a Saturday morning

A weekly time card pre-set the way mechanics actually work: five 8-hour days plus a Saturday morning. Adjust the shifts to your own week — overtime split and gross pay follow instantly.

In short: This card starts from a typical mechanic week — Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a 60-minute unpaid break (8 paid hours), plus Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (4 paid hours) — at $24/hour. That week totals 44:00 hours and $1,104.00 gross under the federal weekly rule. Change any shift, break or the rate and the whole week recalculates.

How It Works — Overtime for Mechanics

The card turns each shift into paid minutes (clock-out minus clock-in, minus unpaid breaks; overnight shifts roll into the next day), then splits the week: the first 40 paid hours are regular, the rest are overtime at 1.5×. Rules summarized from the US Department of Labor (FLSA). Last verified: November 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am paid flat rate (flag hours). How does overtime work?

Your regular rate is the week’s total earnings divided by the hours you actually worked. Hours past 40 are owed an additional half of that rate each — even if the flat-rate pay already covered the straight-time part. Track your real in/out times, not just flagged hours.

Are dealership mechanics really exempt from overtime?

Yes, under federal law: salespeople, parts personnel and mechanics employed by establishments primarily engaged in selling cars, trucks or farm implements are exempt from the FLSA overtime requirement (though not from minimum wage). State law may still add protection, and mechanics at independent repair shops are covered normally.

Does time waiting for parts or approvals count?

Generally yes, if you are required to stay at the shop and are not completely free to use the time as your own — that is engaged-to-wait time. A genuine meal break away from duties is different.

How do I check a paycheck on flat rate?

Log your actual hours for a week, rebuild the week here at the implied regular rate (total pay ÷ hours), and compare the overtime line with the stub.

Does this card save my week?

Yes — automatically, in your browser’s local storage on this device only. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account. Archive a finished week and it stays viewable on the same device (up to 12 archived weeks).

How it works — the formula

The formula: Gross = (regular hours × rate) + (overtime hours × rate × 1.5), where overtime hours are the paid hours beyond 40 in the workweek.

Worked example

The pre-loaded week — Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with a 60-minute unpaid break (8 paid hours), plus Saturday 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (4 paid hours) — is Monday 8 h, Tuesday 8 h, Wednesday 8 h, Thursday 8 h, Friday 8 h, Saturday 4 h: 44:00 paid hours. At the pre-set rate that is 40:00 regular ($960.00) + 4:00 overtime ($144.00) = $1,104.00 gross before taxes.
