Formula Used

The calculation is based on the following formula:

Where:

• Start Time and End Time are in military time format (HHMM).
• Break Duration is in minutes.

The calculator converts military time to hours and minutes, subtracts the break duration, and presents the result in hours and minutes.

Worked Example

Let's say you start work at 0800 (8:00 AM) and finish at 1700 (5:00 PM) with a 30-minute break. Here's how the calculation works:

1. Convert military times to hours: 0800 = 8:00, 1700 = 17:00.
2. Calculate total hours: 17:00 - 8:00 = 9 hours.
3. Subtract break time: 9 hours - 0.5 hours (30 minutes) = 8.5 hours.

The result shows you worked 8 hours and 30 minutes, with 30 minutes of break time.
