Weekly Timesheet

There are, and some are fine. The difference is what has been checked. This file was built from scratch, then every formula in it was recalculated by a separate checker that compares each result against an independently worked-out answer — 19 of them here. A template that looks right and totals wrong is worse than no template at all, and that is the usual failing of one downloaded from a search result.

It also opens with sample rows already filled in, so you can see every formula working before you touch it, and it is set up to print without fighting the page setup. No email wall, no signup, no watermark, and you can use it commercially.

Adding up hours from start and finish times by hand is where timesheet mistakes creep in. This Excel weekly timesheet takes a start time, end time and break for each day, works out the hours worked and multiplies them by your hourly rate.

The weekly summary shows total pay, days worked, the longest day and any hours beyond 37.5 in the week.

Enter times in the Start and End columns. Hours worked deducts the break automatically; leave a day blank and it counts as zero.

The file opens with sample rows so you can see every formula working before you change anything. Type your own figures over them. When you need more rows, insert them inside the existing block rather than underneath it, so the totals keep covering every row.

Shaded, boxed cells below the table are settings the formulas read from. Change those first — every row that depends on them updates at once.
