Overnight Shift Clock Out Calculator
Working a shift that starts in the evening and ends after midnight? Use this chart to quickly find your clock out time — no manual math across midnight required.
What Time Do I Clock Out for an Overnight Shift?
For overnight shifts, your clock out time simply continues counting past midnight into the next day. A few examples:
- If you start at 10:00 PM and work an 8-hour shift with a 30-minute break, you clock out at 6:30 AM the next day.
- If you start at 11:00 PM and work 8 hours with no break, you clock out at 7:00 AM the next day.
- If you start at 9:00 PM and work 10 hours with a 1-hour break, you clock out at 8:00 AM the next day.
For an exact result with your own start time and break length, use the main clock out calculator — it already handles shifts that cross midnight automatically.

Tips for Night Shift Workers
Overnight shifts can make it easy to lose track of exactly when your scheduled hours are up, especially once you cross into a new calendar day. Keeping a quick reference like this chart — or double-checking with the full calculator — helps you avoid clocking out early or drifting into unplanned overtime.
Common Night Shift Schedules
Graveyard shifts (often 11 PM–7 AM), swing shifts (often 3 PM–11 PM), and rotating shifts that alternate week to week are all common in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, warehousing, and security. Regardless of the exact schedule, the same midnight crossover math applies.
Shift Differential Pay
Many employers pay a higher hourly rate — often called a "shift differential" — for hours worked overnight. This varies by company and isn't something this calculator determines, so check your pay stub or HR department for your specific rate.
