Worked Example

Example Calculation

Start Time: 9:00 AM

End Time: 5:00 PM

Number of Breaks: 2

Break 1: 30 minutes

Break 2: 15 minutes

Total Work Time = (5:00 PM - 9:00 AM) - (30 min + 15 min) = 8 hours - 45 minutes = 7 hours 15 minutes

This example shows how the calculator accounts for breaks to give you an accurate measure of your actual work time.
