Hours calculator

Work out the hours worked between a start and end time, minus breaks, with optional pay.

About this calculator

Enter when you started, when you finished and any unpaid break. You get the time worked as hours and minutes and in decimal hours, which payroll often needs. Add your hourly rate to see the pay for the shift.

If you finish after midnight, the calculator treats the end time as the next day.

Common questions

What are decimal hours?

Hours with the minutes as a fraction. 7 hours 30 minutes is 7.5.

Does it handle night shifts?

Yes. An end time earlier than the start time is treated as after midnight.
