About this hours calculator
Adding up worked hours by hand is fiddly, especially across a lunch break or an overnight shift. This calculator does it instantly: enter your start and end times and any break, and get the total in hours and minutes plus decimal hours for payroll.
Frequently asked questions
Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, it assumes the shift runs past midnight and adds 24 hours.
What are decimal hours?
Decimal hours express minutes as a fraction of an hour (e.g. 8 hours 30 minutes = 8.5 hours), which is how many payroll systems calculate pay.
Can I subtract a break?
Yes — enter your break in minutes and it’s removed from the total.
