Alternative to Work Hours & Pay Calculator
A calculator forgets. A record remembers.
Work Hours & Pay Calculator has about 14,000 ratings and does one thing: type in times, get hours and pay. There are no dates, no timer and no export, and ads unless you pay $1.99. It is fine for a one-off check. PunchStamp keeps every shift with a date, so the record exists when you need it.
Prices, free-tier limits and ratings as shown on the US App Store and inside each app on 2026-10-22. They change often; check before you buy.
Where a calculator stops
No dates
Entries are not tied to days, so you cannot look back at last month or match a pay period to a stub.
No timer, no export
You type times by hand after the fact, and the result stays on screen. Nothing to send to a manager or keep as proof.
One overtime rule
A single threshold and multiplier. No daily plus weekly, double time, differentials or rounding comparison.

Why PunchStamp is the step up
- 1
Pay once, keep it forever
Lifetime is the hero price, shown next to annual on the one paywall screen. No weekly billing, no trial that flips to a subscription, no features taken away later.
- 2
Overtime that matches your pay stub
Each job carries its own rule set: weekly 40, daily 8, double time after 12, seventh day, night and weekend differentials. Actual and rounded minutes are shown side by side so you can see what the 7-minute rule costs you.
- 3
A record you can hand to someone
Every punch is time-stamped on your device. Edits keep the original. The PDF export has your name, employer, totals, notes and the edit log, with no watermark, on the free tier.
- 4
Your hours survive your next iPhone
iCloud backup with no account. Restore on a new phone and every shift is still there.
Frequently asked questions
Is Work Hours & Pay Calculator free?
Yes, with ads. A $1.99 purchase removes them as of October 2026. There is no subscription.
Is there a free web version of this kind of calculator?
Yes. The time card calculator on this site is free, has no ads, keeps your current and past weeks on your device, applies federal and state overtime rules, and exports CSV or a printable card.
What does PunchStamp add over a calculator?
Dated shifts you can clock with one tap, per-job overtime rules, breaks handled as paid or unpaid, a paycheck check against your stub, iCloud backup and a PDF export with your name and totals.
Can I bring my old hours into PunchStamp?
Yes. Export a CSV from your current app if it allows it, or use the free time card calculator on this site to rebuild past weeks, then import the CSV into PunchStamp. If your old app locks export behind a paywall, screenshots of each week are enough to re-enter the hours.
