Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate hours worked?

Enter your start and end times and any break in minutes. The calculator shows the worked time as hours and minutes, decimal hours, and total minutes.

Does it handle overnight shifts?

Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, the shift is treated as crossing midnight, so an overnight shift is calculated correctly.

What are decimal hours?

Decimal hours express the time as a single number, where 30 minutes is 0.5 — for example 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5 hours. Payroll systems often use this format.
