How your hours are added up
For each day, the calculator subtracts the start time from the end time, then takes off the break. If a shift ends earlier than it started, like 22:00 to 06:00, it's treated as an overnight shift. Days you leave empty are skipped.
Hours for a day = end − start − break
Pay is total decimal hours multiplied by your hourly rate. It doesn't apply overtime rates, tax or deductions, because those depend on your contract and where you work.
Questions people ask
How do I enter an overnight shift?
Just enter the real start and end times, like 22:00 and 06:00. When the end is earlier than the start, the calculator counts it as finishing the next day.
Does it calculate overtime?
No. Overtime rules depend on your contract and local law. Use the total hours here and apply your own overtime rate to the hours above your limit.
Why are decimal hours different from hours and minutes?
They're the same amount written two ways. 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 decimal hours, because 45 minutes is three quarters of an hour. Payroll systems usually use decimal hours.
