Hours Worked Calculator
Calculate total hours worked between time periods
How It Works
This calculator helps you accurately determine total hours worked, deducting breaks and considering shifts that cross midnight.
Features
- Overnight Shift Support: Correctly calculates if you start on one day and finish on the next (e.g., 10:00 PM to 06:00 AM).
- Break Deduction: Automatically subtracts lunch or rest time.
- Precision: Exact calculation in hours and minutes.
Example
Calculating a Work Day
Input:
- Start: 09:00 AM
- End: 06:00 PM (18:00)
- Break: 60 minutes (lunch)
Calculation:
1. Total gross time: 09:00 to 18:00 = 9 hours
2. Convert to minutes: 9 × 60 = 540 minutes
3. Subtract break: 540 - 60 = 480 minutes
4. Convert back: 480 / 60 = 8 hours worked
