Worked Example

Let's look at an example to see how this 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 you would calculate your total work hours:

Calculate the total hours worked: 5:00 PM - 8:00 AM = 9 hours.
Subtract the lunch break: 9 hours - 1 hour = 8 hours.

Your total work hours would be 8 hours.
