Your Ultimate Timesheet and Payroll Assistant

Manually calculating work hours from a time card can be tedious and prone to errors. Our Hours Calculator streamlines this process, allowing you to quickly determine total hours worked and potential earnings. It's the perfect tool for employees, freelancers, and small business owners who need accurate time tracking.

How to Use the Work Hours Calculator

1. Add Time Periods: Click the "+ Add Period" button for each shift or workday you want to log. A new row will appear.
2. Enter Start and End Times: For each period, use the time selectors to input your start and end times. The calculator automatically handles overnight shifts (e.g., 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM).
3. Log Breaks: In each row, enter your total unpaid break time in minutes (e.g., "30" for a 30-minute lunch break).
4. Enter Hourly Rate (Optional): If you want to calculate your total pay, enter your hourly wage in the "Payroll" section.
5. Calculate: Click the "Calculate Hours" button. Your results will instantly appear, showing total hours in both H:M format and decimal format, along with your gross pay if a rate was provided.
