How to Calculate Your Weekly Hours
Using a timesheet calculator ensures you are paid correctly for every minute you work. This tool automatically handles "time math" (like subtracting 30 minutes for lunch) so you don't have to.
How Overtime Works in Ontario
In Ontario, the standard overtime threshold is 44 hours per week. Any hours worked above this amount must legally be paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate ("Time and a Half").
- Example: If you earn $20/hr and work 50 hours.
- You get paid $20/hr for the first 44 hours.
- You get paid $30/hr ($20 x 1.5) for the remaining 6 hours.
Understanding Unpaid Breaks
Most employers deduct meal breaks (usually 30 minutes) from your total daily hours. Make sure to enter your break duration in minutes to get an accurate net total.
