How to Use the Working Hours Calculator

Whether you are a freelancer, a contractor, or a full-time employee, tracking your time accurately is essential for fair compensation. This calculator allows you to input your daily start and end times, subtract breaks, and instantly see your weekly totals.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Input Times: Select your start and end times using the 24-hour or AM/PM clock provided by your browser.
  • Deduct Breaks: Enter the total number of minutes spent on unpaid breaks (e.g., lunch) for each day.
  • Overnight Shifts: If your shift crosses midnight (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM), the calculator automatically detects the 24-hour transition.
  • Hourly Rate: Enter your gross hourly wage to calculate your estimated earnings before taxes.

Calculation Example:

If you work from 09:00 AM to 05:30 PM with a 30-minute break:

Metric Value
Total Time at Work 8 Hours 30 Minutes
Unpaid Break 30 Minutes
Actual Working Hours 8.00 Hours

Why Track Your Hours?

Accurate time tracking prevents "wage theft" and ensures you are adhering to labor laws regarding overtime. In many jurisdictions, any work performed over 40 hours per week may entitle you to a higher "time-and-a-half" pay rate. Using a digital log helps you maintain a professional record for your employer or tax purposes.

Pro Tip: Always round your minutes according to your company policy. Many companies use the "7-minute rule," where time is rounded to the nearest quarter-hour (15-minute increments).
