Formula Used
The time card calculator uses the following formula to calculate your total hours worked:
Total Hours Worked = (End Time - Start Time) - Lunch Break
Where:
- End Time is the time you finish work
- Start Time is the time you begin work
- Lunch Break is the duration of your lunch break in hours
The calculator converts all times to a 24-hour format for accurate calculation.
Worked Example
Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:
Suppose 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 time from start to finish: 5:00 PM - 8:00 AM = 9 hours
- Subtract lunch break: 9 hours - 1 hour = 8 hours
So your total hours worked would be 8 hours.
Note: The calculator handles overnight shifts correctly by considering the 24-hour clock.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the lunch break affect my total hours worked?
The lunch break is subtracted from your total working time. For example, if you work 9 hours but have a 1-hour lunch break, your total hours worked will be 8 hours.
Can I use this calculator for overnight shifts?
Yes, the calculator handles overnight shifts correctly by using a 24-hour clock format.
What if I take multiple lunch breaks?
The calculator currently supports a single lunch break duration. If you need to account for multiple breaks, you would need to add them together before entering the total.

The calculator uses standard time formats and should be accurate for any time zone as long as you enter the correct start and end times.
