Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate your bi-weekly timesheet:

Total Working Hours = (Daily Hours × 10) - (Lunch Break × 10)

Where:

  • Daily Hours = Sum of hours worked each day
  • Lunch Break = Total break time for the period

This formula accounts for both your working hours and break time to give you an accurate picture of your workweek.

Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how the calculator works:

Example Scenario

You work 8 hours each day Monday through Friday, with a 1-hour lunch break each day.

Calculation:

  • Daily Hours = 8 hours/day × 5 days = 40 hours
  • Lunch Break = 1 hour/day × 5 days = 5 hours
  • Total Working Hours = 40 hours - 5 hours = 35 hours

The calculator will show you that you worked a total of 35 hours over the two-week period.
