Monthly time sheet calendar
A time sheet you fill in one day at a time
The monthly view is for people who think in calendar months: freelancers who invoice monthly, workers who want a record of every day, or anyone checking a month against a pay stub. Each day shows its hours, and overtime days show their overtime, so gaps and long days stand out.
How to use it
- Choose the month with the arrows or “Today”.
- Select a day and press Enter (or click it). Enter the clock-in and clock-out times, an unpaid break and, if you like, a note.
- Close the editor. The calendar and the month totals update straight away.
- Print the month, save it as a PDF, or download a CSV.
Worked example: a workweek that crosses into a new month
Your workweek runs Sunday to Saturday. You work 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with no unpaid break, Monday, September 28 to Friday, October 2, 2026: 9 hours a day, 45 hours in that workweek. Under the US weekly rule, 5 of those hours are overtime.
| Month | Days in this week | Regular | Overtime |
|---|---|---|---|
| September 2026 | Mon 28, Tue 29, Wed 30 | 27:00 | 0:00 |
| October 2026 | Thu 1, Fri 2 | 13:00 | 5:00 |
| Whole workweek | 5 days | 40:00 | 5:00 |
Overtime is worked out for the full workweek, then given to the days in time order: the first 40 hours are regular, and the hours after that are overtime. The 41st to 45th hours fall on Friday, October 2, so October shows 5 hours of overtime even though only 18 of its hours belong to this week.
The formula
For each workweek that touches the month: split the week into regular and overtime hours, day by day
Month regular = sum of regular hours on days in the month
Month overtime = sum of overtime hours on days in the month
Edge cases
- Weeks before and after the month are read from your saved days, so a month’s overtime is right even if the month starts mid-week.
- Overnight shifts appear on the day they started.
- Leave days (PTO, holiday, sick) show their paid hours with a label and do not count toward overtime.
- Errors such as a missing clock-out are outlined on the calendar until you fix them.

Frequently asked questions
How do I log hours on the monthly timesheet?
Click or tab to a day and press Enter. A day editor opens with the same fields as the weekly card: clock in and out, unpaid break, day type and a note. Changes save as you type.
Can I use the keyboard on the calendar?
Yes. Arrow keys move between days, Home and End go to the start and end of the week, Page Up and Page Down change the month, and Enter or Space opens the selected day.
Why does a month show overtime when I worked fewer than 40 hours in it?
Overtime belongs to workweeks, not months. If a workweek crosses into the month, its overtime is worked out for the full week and the overtime minutes that fall on days in this month are counted here.
Are the monthly calendar and the weekly card connected?
Yes. They read and write the same saved days in this browser, so a day you fill in on one appears on the other and in the yearly overview.
Can I print a month?
Yes. “Print month” makes a sheet with every day that has hours, the month totals and signature lines. Choose “Save as PDF” as the printer to get a PDF.
Can I export the month to a spreadsheet?
Yes. “Download CSV” gives one row per day with punches, break, hours and overtime, plus totals. It opens in Excel, Google Sheets or Numbers.
What do the colors on the calendar mean?
A tinted day has hours, an outlined day has an entry that needs fixing, and the circled number is today. Each day also shows its hours as text, and screen readers hear the full date and hours.
