How to read your workday

The result separates recorded time, breaks, and pay estimates so you can review every part.

Gross and net

Gross time runs from start to end. Net time subtracts breaks and is used to calculate regular hours, overtime, and pay.

Decimal hours

They are useful for timesheets and billing. Thirty minutes equals 0.50 hours; five minutes is approximately 0.08.

Crossing midnight

An end time earlier than the start time is treated as the next day and clearly identified in the result.

Estimates, not payroll rules

The regular limit and overtime multiplier are configurable. The calculator does not account for contracts, collective agreements, holidays, or specific labor rules.

Pay is calculated from exact minutes and rounded only for display. Taxes, deductions, and payroll rounding are not included.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate my hours worked?

Add each shift with its start time, end time, and break. The calculator adds gross time, subtracts breaks, and shows total net time worked.

How are breaks subtracted?

Enter each shift's break in minutes. It is subtracted from that shift's gross duration before the workday total is calculated.

How does it calculate a shift that crosses midnight?

If the end time is earlier than the start time, the shift is treated as ending the next day. Identical start and end times are ambiguous and produce an error.

How do I convert hours and minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60 and add them to the complete hours. For example, 8 hours and 30 minutes equals 8.50 decimal hours.

How is overtime calculated?

The calculator first adds all net work time, then compares that total with the configured regular-hours limit.

Can I estimate my hourly pay?

Yes. Add an hourly rate and, if needed, adjust the regular-hours limit and overtime multiplier. The result separates regular pay, overtime pay, and total pay.

Does the calculator apply my country's labor laws?

No. Overtime and pay are estimates based only on the values you configure. Check the applicable labor, tax, and payroll rules.
