How to Use This Calculator
This time card calculator helps you determine your total work hours including lunch breaks. Simply enter your start and end times, and the calculator will compute your total hours worked.
For accurate results, ensure you enter the correct start and end times in 24-hour format (HH:MM). The calculator automatically accounts for lunch breaks when specified.
Steps to Use the Calculator

- Enter your work end time in the "End Time" field.
- Select whether you have a lunch break and specify its duration if applicable.
- Click "Calculate" to see your total work hours.
Formula Used
The calculator uses the following formula to determine total work hours:
Total Work Hours = (End Time - Start Time) - Lunch Break Duration
Where:
- End Time - The time you finish work
- Start Time - The time you begin work
- Lunch Break Duration - The length of your lunch break (if applicable)
The result is displayed in hours and minutes for easy interpretation.
Worked Example
Let's say you start work at 9:00 AM and finish at 5:00 PM with a 1-hour lunch break. Here's how the calculation works:
Total Work Hours = (17:00 - 09:00) - 1:00
= 8:00 - 1:00
= 7:00
In this example, your total work hours would be 7 hours.
