Formula Used

Bi-weekly Working Hours Formula

The formula used to calculate your bi-weekly working hours is:

Bi-weekly Hours = (Daily Working Hours - (Lunch Break / 60)) × Working Days per Week × 2

Where:

  • Daily Working Hours - Total hours you work each day
  • Lunch Break - Duration of your lunch break in minutes
  • Working Days per Week - Number of days you work each week

This formula accounts for your lunch break by converting minutes to hours and subtracting it from your daily working hours. The result is then multiplied by your working days per week and doubled for two weeks.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works. Suppose you work 8 hours a day, have a 30-minute lunch break, and work 5 days a week.

  1. Subtract the lunch break from your daily working hours: 8 hours - 0.5 hours (30 minutes) = 7.5 hours per day.
  2. Multiply by your working days per week: 7.5 hours × 5 days = 37.5 hours per week.
  3. Double for two weeks: 37.5 hours × 2 = 75 hours.

So, your bi-weekly working hours would be 75 hours. The calculator will provide this result along with a breakdown of your weekly and daily hours.
