Time Card Worksheet Generator — Calculating Work Hours and Pay

Generate randomized time card worksheets for calculating hours worked and gross pay. Each worksheet covers a 7-day work period — students fill in missing hours, calculate totals, and compute pay, connecting clock hours directly to dollars earned before any deductions.

How to use this generator

The generator produces a random time card covering a 7-day work period. Choose the Basic Worksheet for a quick random exercise, or use the Custom Worksheet to control exactly which fields students must calculate — Total Hours, Regular Hours, Overtime, Grand Total Hours, and Total Salary. You can also set specific regular and overtime salary rates, enter a custom employee name, and optionally add minutes for a harder exercise. Every time you access or refresh the page, a new worksheet is generated, so students can repeat the exercise with different numbers.

Use this generator at the start of a paychecks unit to establish the baseline: students need to understand where gross pay comes from before they can meaningfully interpret a pay stub. Pair with the Earnings Statement Worksheet to show what happens to that gross pay by the time it becomes take-home pay.
