Formula Explained
The calculation is straightforward:
Where:

- Break Time in Minutes is the total time you took for breaks
The break time is converted from minutes to hours by dividing by 60, then subtracted from the total hours worked.
Worked Example
Let's say you worked a total of 8 hours today, including breaks. You took a total of 60 minutes for breaks.
Example Calculation
Total Hours Worked: 8 hours
Break Time: 60 minutes
Break Time in Hours: 60 / 60 = 1 hour
Net Hours Worked: 8 - 1 = 7 hours
In this example, your net hours worked would be 7 hours after accounting for the 60-minute break.
