How to Use This Calculator

Formula Used

Total Hours Worked = (End Time - Start Time) - Lunch Break Duration

Where:

  • End Time and Start Time are in 24-hour format
  • Lunch Break Duration is in hours

This formula calculates the total hours worked by subtracting the lunch break duration from the total time between start and end times.

Worked Example

Let's say you started work at 8:00 AM and finished at 5:00 PM with a 1-hour unpaid lunch break.

  1. Total time worked: 5:00 PM - 8:00 AM = 9 hours
  2. Subtract lunch break: 9 hours - 1 hour = 8 hours

Your total hours worked would be 8 hours, with 1 hour of unpaid break.
