Time Tracker Lite: Free Weekly Timesheet
Time Tracker Lite is a free weekly timesheet template for one person and one week. Type the Monday your week starts, then a start time, an end time and the minutes of break for each day you worked. Each day's hours calculate in decimals, so 7.5 means 7 hours 30 minutes and the week adds up cleanly, and a shift that runs past midnight comes out right instead of negative. The week total splits at a fixed 40 hours into regular and overtime hours, with signature lines for printing. It opens on a worked example week from a fictitious designer, so you can see it working before you type over it, and it comes with a short PDF guide and a printable paper timesheet.

What it does
- Gives you one row for each day of the week, with the dates and day names filled in from the Monday you type.
- Works out each day's hours from start, end and break as decimal hours, so the week total is a plain number you can multiply by a rate.
- Handles overnight shifts: 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM comes out as 8.0 hours, not a negative number or a cell full of ####.
- Splits the week total at a fixed 40 hours into regular hours and overtime hours. Your own overtime rules may differ, and the free version doesn't change the threshold.
- Opens on a worked example: a fictitious designer's week of September 14, 2026, five workdays adding up to 44.5 hours, which is 40 regular hours and 4.5 overtime hours.
- Includes a 4-page PDF guide with the worked week explained and a printable one-person paper timesheet with signature and approval lines.
- Opens in Excel and LibreOffice, or in Google Sheets with File > Import > Upload. No macros, no signup, and nothing saved anywhere but your own copy.

Need the whole team, the whole year?
The lite adds up one person's week and splits overtime at a fixed 40 hours. The full Time Tracker & Timesheet Workbook keeps going for the whole team and the whole year. One log holds 2,500 rows for up to 15 people, 30 projects and 15 clients, with a Check column that names a missing end time, an overlap or an unknown project in plain words. Overtime follows your own weekly threshold, an optional daily threshold and your multiplier. The Weekly Timesheet runs a 1-week or 2-week pay period with PTO, sick and holiday hours and estimated gross pay. The Hours Balance carries each person's flextime, hours owed or time off banked, forward from an opening balance for 52 weeks with nothing to re-key. Projects & Billing tracks every project's hours against its budget and turns Near budget and Over budget on its own, with billable amounts by project and client. A dashboard sums it all up. It comes in Excel and Google Sheets in one download, with a 23-page guide and printable paper timesheets.
A one-time purchase you keep in your own drive: no per-seat fee, no subscription, and no account with us to keep active.
