Free Printable Timesheet Templates
Download a free timesheet template to print, or to use in Excel and Google Sheets. Weekly, biweekly and monthly sheets add up your hours, overtime and pay.
Weekly Timesheet
One week, Monday to Sunday, with a weekly total, overtime and pay.
Biweekly Timesheet
Two weeks on one page, with overtime worked out for each week.
Monthly Timesheet
A full month in seven day blocks, so overtime still counts per week.
Which Timesheet To Pick
Choose the sheet that matches how often you are paid. A weekly sheet is one page, a biweekly sheet covers two weeks on one page and a monthly sheet lists every day of a month.
All three work the same way. You write a start time, an end time and your unpaid break for each day, and the sheet gives you the hours.
If you would rather not do any arithmetic, the online time card does the same job and keeps your hours on your device.
Try the free time card calculator if you would rather type than print.
What Is On Each Sheet
Every sheet has the same columns, so you can switch between them without learning a new layout.
| Part | What it holds |
|---|---|
| Employee and period | Your name and the week or month the sheet covers |
| Hourly rate | Your base pay per hour, used by the Excel sheet to work out pay |
| Day, Start, End | One row per day, with the times you worked |
| Break (min) | Unpaid break time in minutes, taken off each day |
| Hours | The paid hours for the day, in decimals in the Excel version |
| Week total | A subtotal for each seven day block |
| Overtime, regular and pay | Worked out from the weekly totals, with the pay before tax |
| Signatures | Employee, supervisor and date, on the PDF version |
The PDF is blank so you can write on it. The Excel file has the formulas already set up, and you only type times.
How The Excel Sheets Work
Type the start and end time in the shaded cells, such as 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM, and the unpaid break in minutes. The hours column fills itself in.
The formula behind it handles night shifts, because it wraps around midnight. The hours guide explains it step by step.
Enter your rate and the overtime multiplier at the top. The sheet then shows regular hours, overtime hours and gross pay before tax.
=IF(OR(C10="",D10=""),"",MOD(D10-C10,1)*24-N(E10)/60)The formula is explained in how to calculate hours worked in Excel.
Why Overtime Is Counted For Each Week
Overtime rules count hours per workweek, not per pay period. A biweekly sheet therefore adds up each week on its own before it adds overtime.
The monthly sheet splits the month into seven day blocks for the same reason. The last block is shorter, so it rarely reaches the 40 hour line.
The threshold is a cell you can change. The default is 40 hours. Set it to your own rule, or to a very high number if you are not owed overtime.
The rules are in the overtime rules guide.
Tips For Filling In A Timesheet
- Write times as you work. A time written at the end of the week is usually out by a few minutes.
- Use the same clock for every entry. Mixing a phone and a wall clock adds small errors.
- Note a break in the break column even when it is paid, so you can see it later.
- Keep a copy. A photo of the signed sheet or a saved PDF is enough.
- Add the totals twice, once by rows and once by the weekly subtotals, and check they agree.
Printing And Using The Files
The PDFs are letter size and print in black and white. They fit one page, except the monthly sheet, which runs onto a second page for the last days.
The Excel files open in Excel, Numbers, LibreOffice and Google Sheets. If a time shows as a number, format the cell as a time.
The files are free to use at home or at work, and you can print as many copies as you need.
Questions People Ask
Are the timesheets free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no email address needed. Download the file and use it.
Do the Excel sheets work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload the file to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets. The formulas and formats carry across.
Can I use them for different hourly rates?
Use one sheet for each rate. The Excel version takes a single rate at the top, so a second job needs its own copy.
Does the sheet handle overtime?
Yes, per seven day block. The default is time and a half after 40 hours, and you can change both numbers at the top of the sheet.
Do I need to sign it?
The PDF has a signature line for you and a supervisor. Many employers want one, so check with yours.
