Common questions with concrete values

How do you calculate hours worked?

Subtract the start time from the end time and deduct unpaid breaks. From 8:30 to 17:00 with a 30-minute break you worked 8 hours.

How do you convert minutes to decimal hours for a timesheet?

Divide the minutes by 60: 15 minutes = 0.25 hours, 30 minutes = 0.5 hours and 45 minutes = 0.75 hours. So 7 hours 45 minutes are 7.75 hours.

How do you calculate pay from hours worked?

Multiply the decimal hours by the hourly rate. 37.5 hours at $18 per hour are $675 before taxes.

When do overtime hours start?

It depends on the country and the contract. In the US, non-exempt employees are generally owed overtime for hours over 40 in a workweek.

Work Hours Calculator: Track Your Time and Calculate Your Earnings

Whether you are a freelancer juggling multiple clients, an employee keeping tabs on overtime, or a part-time worker managing a flexible schedule, knowing exactly how many hours you have worked is essential. The Work Hours Calculator lets you log a full week of work in a single timesheet: it starts with five rows (Monday to Friday), and you can add more rows. Simply enter your clock-in time, clock-out time, and break minutes for each day, and the tool instantly shows you your daily hours, your weekly total, and โ€” if you enter an hourly wage โ€” your estimated gross earnings for the week.

The Formula Behind the Calculator

The math is straightforward and transparent. For every single workday the calculator applies this logic:

  • Net hours per day = (Clock-out time โˆ’ Clock-in time) โˆ’ Break minutes

All daily net hours are then summed to produce the weekly total. If you supply an hourly wage, one more step is applied:

  • Weekly earnings = Total weekly hours ร— Hourly wage

Times are entered in HH:MM format, and break duration is entered as a whole number of minutes. This keeps data entry fast and reduces the chance of input errors.

How to Use the Calculator Step by Step

Getting your weekly timesheet filled out takes less than two minutes. Here is how:

  • Step 1: Select the day of the week in the first column (Monday through Sunday).
  • Step 2: Enter your start time in HH:MM format, for example 09:00.
  • Step 3: Enter your end time, for example 17:30.
  • Step 4: Type the number of break minutes, such as 60 for a one-hour lunch break.
  • Step 5: Repeat for each day you worked; use Add row for extra days or a second shift, and ร— to remove a row.
  • Step 6 (optional): Enter your hourly wage to see your weekly gross pay calculated automatically.
  • Step 7: Click the CSV export button to download your timesheet data for record-keeping or payroll purposes.

Practical Examples

Example 1: Standard 9-to-5 Office Week

You work Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00, with a 60-minute lunch break each day. The calculator finds 7 hours of net work per day (8 hours minus the 1-hour break). The weekly total is 35 hours. At an hourly rate of $18, your weekly gross pay would be $630.

Example 2: Freelancer with Irregular Hours

A freelancer logs the following hours: Monday 08:30โ€“12:00 (no break), Wednesday 10:00โ€“16:00 (30-minute break), Thursday 13:00โ€“19:45 (45-minute break), and Saturday 09:00โ€“13:00 (no break). The daily totals are 3.5 h, 5.5 h, 6 h, and 4 h, giving a weekly total of 19 hours. At $25 per hour that is $475 in earnings.

Example 3: Shift Worker with Extended Days

A warehouse worker is scheduled Tuesday through Saturday, each shift running from 06:00 to 14:30 with a 30-minute break. Net work per day is 8 hours, and the five-day total is 40 hours. Entering a wage of $16 shows weekly earnings of $640. The exported CSV can then be handed directly to the payroll department.

To add up hours and minutes or find the time between two clock times, use the time calculator. To turn an hourly wage into a weekly, monthly or annual salary, use the salary to hourly calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if I forget to enter a break?

If you leave the break field blank or enter zero, the calculator treats the entire span between clock-in and clock-out as working time. This is perfectly valid for days when you truly took no break. Just make sure the figure accurately reflects your actual situation.

Can I use the calculator for more than one week?

The timesheet is designed for a single seven-day period. For multi-week tracking, simply use the CSV export after each week and save your files. Over time you will build a complete archive of your working hours that you can open in any spreadsheet application for monthly or annual summaries.

Can I enter a night shift that ends after midnight?

Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, for example 22:00 to 06:00, the calculator treats the shift as ending the next day: 8 hours, or 7.5 hours with a 30-minute break. Enter it in the row of the day the shift starts.

Is my data stored anywhere?

No data is sent to any server. All calculations happen entirely in your browser. Once you close or refresh the page, the entered values are gone unless you have already exported the CSV. This makes the tool completely private and safe to use with sensitive wage information.
