How to calculate Work Hours Calculator

Step-by-step Guide & Informational Intent

  1. 1.Enter your 'Start Time' for the workday or shift.
  2. 2.Input your 'End Time' for the session.
  3. 3.Deduct 'Break Time' in minutes if applicable.
  4. 4.The calculator will instantly show your net working hours.
  5. 5.Use the totals for payroll tracking or productivity logs.

How the Calculation Works

The calculator finds the difference between two timestamps. If the end time is 'less' than the start time, it assumes a midnight crossover and adds 24 hours to the calculation to find the correct duration.

Important Assumptions

  • Start and End times are within a 24-hour period
  • Break time is subtracted from the total elapsed time
  • Uses the standard clock math (60 mins = 1 hour)
  • Supports both traditional and military time inputs
