My Clock Out calculates the arithmetic only. Your employer’s flexitime policy may define different limits or carry-over rules.
The formula
How this calculator works
Flexitime balance = actual hours − contracted hours + carry-over
A positive answer is time credit; a negative answer is a deficit. The calculation also covers the US spelling “flextime.” Your workplace policy determines whether balances can be carried or used.

Good to know
Edge cases and common mistakes
- Use negative carry-over for an existing deficit and positive carry-over for credit.
- Quarter-hour decimals are supported: 0.25 is 15 minutes and 0.75 is 45 minutes.
- A positive arithmetic balance does not guarantee that time can be taken off.
- Reset the period boundaries to match the flexitime cycle used by your workplace.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between flexitime and flextime?
They describe the same general idea. “Flexitime” is common in the UK, while “flextime” is common in the US.
How do I enter a previous deficit?
Enter it as a negative carry-over. For example, a 1.5-hour deficit is −1.5.
Can this tell me how much time off I may take?
It calculates the balance only. Your employer’s policy determines caps, expiry and how credit may be used.
