Formula Used

Calculation Formula

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

Net Working Hours = Total Hours Worked - Break Duration

This formula accounts for the time you spend working and the time you spend on breaks, giving you an accurate picture of your productive working hours.

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 the calculation works:

Total Time Worked: 5:00 PM - 9:00 AM = 8 hours
Subtract Break: 8 hours - 0.5 hours = 7.5 hours worked
Net Working Hours: 7.5 hours - 0.5 hours = 7 hours

This means you worked 7.5 hours total, with 7 hours being your actual productive working time.
