Time Card Calculation Formula
Total Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Duration
Where:
- End Time - The time you finished work
- Start Time - The time you began work
- Break Duration - The time taken for breaks (if any)
This formula ensures that you account for all working hours while excluding any break time. The result is displayed in hours and minutes for easy understanding.
Worked Example
Let's walk through a practical example to demonstrate how the calculator works.
Scenario
You started work at 9:00 AM and finished at 5:00 PM, taking a 30-minute break for lunch. Calculate your total hours worked.
Step-by-Step Calculation
- Enter the date: 2023-11-15
- Select the project: "Development"
- Enter start time: 09:00
- Enter end time: 17:00
- Select break duration: 0.5 hours (30 minutes)
- Click "Calculate"
The calculator will compute the total hours as follows:
Calculation
Total Hours = (17:00 - 09:00) - 0.5 hours
Total Hours = 8 hours - 0.5 hours = 7.5 hours
The result shows that you worked a total of 7.5 hours on this day, excluding the 30-minute break.
