Formula Used

The time clock with break calculator uses the following formula to calculate total work time:

Total Work Time = (End Time - Start Time) - Break Duration

Start Time - The time you begin work
Break Duration - The length of your break

If the total work time exceeds your scheduled work hours, the calculator will display the overtime amount.

Worked Example

Let's say you start work at 9:00 AM and finish at 5:00 PM with a 30-minute break. Here's how to calculate your total work time:

Calculate the total time worked: 5:00 PM - 9:00 AM = 8 hours
Subtract your break duration: 8 hours - 0.5 hours (30 minutes) = 7.5 hours

Your total work time is 7.5 hours. If your scheduled work hours are 8 hours, you have 0.5 hours of overtime.
