Formula Used

The calculation takes into account:

• Duration of each break

Worked Example

Let's say you need to work 8 hours with 2 breaks of 15 minutes each:

1. Total work hours: 8 hours
2. Number of breaks: 2
3. Break duration: 15 minutes each

The calculator would determine:

• Total break time: 30 minutes
• Break interval: (8 hours - 0.5 hours) / 3 ≈ 2.5 hours

This means you should take your first break after 2.5 hours, your second break after another 2.5 hours, and then complete your remaining work.
