Formula Used

Total Work Hours = Weekly Hours - (Number of Workdays × Break Duration) Percentage of Breaks = (Number of Workdays × Break Duration) ÷ Weekly Hours × 100 Daily Average = Total Work Hours ÷ Number of Workdays

Where:

Weekly Hours = Total hours worked in the week (including breaks)
Break Duration = Length of each lunch break in hours
Number of Workdays = Count of days worked in the week

Worked Example

Let's calculate a weekly timesheet for an employee who:

Works 40 hours in a week (including breaks)
Takes a 1-hour lunch break each day
Works 5 days a week (Monday to Friday)

Total Work Hours = 40 - (5 × 1) = 35 hours

Percentage of Breaks = (5 × 1) ÷ 40 × 100 = 12.5%

Daily Average = 35 ÷ 5 = 7 hours per day

This means the employee actually works 35 hours of productive time while taking 5 hours of breaks, or 12.5% of their time is spent on breaks.

Excel Compatibility

You can use this calculator's logic in Excel with these formulas:

=B2-(B3*B4) // Total work hours =(B3*B4)/B2*100 // Percentage of breaks =(B2-(B3*B4))/B4 // Daily average

Where:

B2 = Weekly hours
B3 = Break duration
B4 = Number of workdays

Create a simple table in Excel with these formulas to replicate the calculator's functionality.
