Formula Explained
The Hours Calculator Time Card Soup uses the following formula to calculate hours worked for each entry:
Hours Worked = (End Time - Start Time) / 60
Where:
- Start Time and End Time are in minutes since midnight
- The result is converted to hours by dividing by 60
The calculator sums all individual hours worked to provide the total hours worked.
Note: The calculator assumes all time entries are on the same day. For entries spanning midnight, you may need to split them into two entries.
