About
About Plain Timecard
Plain Timecard is a small set of free calculators for the one question every hourly worker and small employer keeps asking: how many hours was that, really.
What it is
Plain Timecard does the hours math. Clock in and clock out, unpaid breaks, overnight shifts, decimal conversion, and time clock rounding, including the 7-minute rule. It is the upstream half of a pair: Plain Timecard turns punches into a verified hours total, and its sibling Plain Paycheck turns those hours into take-home pay after tax. Each site keeps one clear job.
Why it is free and private
The calculators are free with no account and no sign up. They are also private by construction: every calculation runs in your browser, and nothing you type is ever sent to a server. That is not just a promise, it is how the site is built, and the privacy page explains exactly how. Free tools like this are supported by unobtrusive ads on some pages, never by selling or collecting what you enter.
How we cite our sources
Anywhere the site makes a claim about the law or the math, it names the source where you can see it. The rounding rules page quotes the federal regulation 29 CFR 785.48 and the Department of Labor's fact sheets, and the methodology page shows the exact arithmetic behind every total. Legal context is context, never advice.
Who makes it
Plain Timecard is built by RayLabs, the same team behind Plain Paycheck. If something is wrong or missing, or you have a calculator you wish existed, write to hello@plaintimecard.com.
