Hours Worked Calculator

Calculate hours worked from start time, end time and unpaid break.

How this is calculated
Net hours = (endTime − startTime − break) ÷ 60

Assumptions used in this calculation

  • Overnight shifts: If the end time is earlier than the start time, the shift is assumed to end on the next day.
  • Break handling: The break is assumed to be fully unpaid and is subtracted once from the total elapsed time between start and end.

About this calculator

The hours worked calculator finds total hours on shift and net payable hours after subtracting an unpaid break, useful for timesheets.

Worked example

9:00 AM to 6:00 PM with a 30-minute break

Result: 8.5 hours
