What is Timesheet?

A timesheet is nothing but an hourly attendance report of an employee in an organization to calculate his or her monthly wages. So using this, we can find out when the employee clocks in and out.

We can calculate regular day wages with regular hours and anything over the regular working hours; we need to calculate it as overtime wages. Ok, let’s build a timesheet calculator template in Excel.

How to Build a Timesheet Template?

To build a Timesheet template, first, we need to decide what regular working hours and wages are and the hourly rate for calculating overtime wages, so first, make a list of these like this.

Next, we need to create headings to track employee-wise details, so I have listed below the common data we need for an employee.

We need to mention the dates involved in the mentioned month, so enter dates from 01st Jan to 31st Jan first.

Next to the “Date” column, insert one more column to arrive “Day” name. After inserting the column, change the date format to “DDD”. Use the TEXT function to convert the date from column B to today’s name.

Whenever the weekend comes, we need to highlight those dates, so we use “Conditional Formatting” for auto-highlight these days. Select the table without headings, click “Conditional Formatting”, and choose “New Rule”.

Choose “Use a formula to determine which cells to format”.

Now we need to highlight the rows wherever the date’s day is “Sat & Sun”, so enter the below formula first. Now choose the formatting color that you wish to highlight the “Sat” & “Sun” dates.

Now we need to apply the formula to calculate “Regular Working Hours”, so enter the below formula to calculate regular working hours.

This formula will show the result in time, but we need the result in hours, so just tweak the above formula to get the result, like 8.5 hours instead of 08:30:00.

NOTE: Change the formula cell format to number format to get a number result.

After calculating the regular working hours now, we need to calculate the overtime hour, so apply the below formula to get the overtime hours.

Okay, now we have “what the regular working hours are and what the overtime hours is” Using these two, we need to determine the total pay.

First, apply the below formula to calculate “Regular Pay”.

regular pay

What this formula does is “for the entire 8.5 hours payment is 550, so we are dividing the total amount by 8.5 hours to find the per hour pay rate then multiplying it with regular working hours to get the value for the time they have worked for”.

Next, similarly, we need to arrive at overtime pay; for this, we have already given the per hour rate as 100, so we need to simply multiply it by overtime hours to get the overtime payment number.

Next, simply add “Regular Pay and Overtime Pay” to get the “Total Pay”.

Ok, like this, you can enter every day’s employee-wise details, and the formulas themselves will calculate the rest.
