How to Use This Calculator

Using the original time card calculator is straightforward. Follow these steps:

Formula Explained

The formula used to calculate total work hours is:

Total Work Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Time

This formula subtracts the break time from the total time between the start and end times to give you the actual hours worked.

Note: The calculator assumes that the start time is earlier than the end time. If you work overnight, you may need to adjust the times accordingly.

Worked Example

Let's say you start work at 8:00 AM and finish at 5:00 PM with a 1-hour lunch break. Here's how the calculation works:

Total Work Hours = (5:00 PM - 8:00 AM) - 1 hour Total Work Hours = 9 hours - 1 hour Total Work Hours = 8 hours

So, your total work hours for the day would be 8 hours.
