Frequently asked questions
How does the real-time earnings calculator work?
Enter your hourly wage and the time you started working. The counter multiplies your wage by the exact seconds elapsed since then, updating live so you can watch today's earnings climb in real time.
Can I see how much I've earned today so far?
Yes — that's exactly what the live counter shows. Set your start time to when your shift began and it calculates your running total for today automatically.
Does this account for breaks or lunch?
No — it assumes continuous work from your start time. Pause the counter (or adjust your start time) if you want to exclude a break.
Is this exact, down to the cent?
It's a live mathematical estimate (hourly rate ÷ 3600 × seconds elapsed), not a payroll record — it's meant for a fun, motivating look at your earnings, not an official pay statement.
Can I use this for a full pay period instead of just today?
This tool is built around a single day's live count. For weekly, monthly, or annual totals, use the Hourly Pay Calculator or Salary Calculator instead.
