Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate hours worked with multiple breaks?
If you have multiple breaks, simply add up all the break times and enter the total in the "Break Duration" field. The calculator will subtract this total from your working hours.
Can I use this calculator for overtime calculations?
This calculator provides your total hours worked, which you can then compare to your regular working hours to determine overtime. However, it doesn't automatically calculate overtime pay.
What if I work overnight?
The calculator handles overnight shifts correctly as long as you enter the correct start and end times. For example, if you start at 10:00 PM and end at 6:00 AM, the calculator will properly calculate the time across midnight.
