A work hours calculator computes net hours from clock-in and clock-out times, subtracts unpaid breaks, and outputs decimal hours for timesheets and payroll estimates.
Enter a start time, end time, and unpaid break duration to get net hours worked and decimal hours (for example, 7 hours 30 minutes = 7.5). Overnight shifts are handled automatically when the end time is earlier than the start on the clock.
Use decimal hours when exporting totals to time-tracking apps, invoicing clients, or comparing against weekly rollups. This tool runs entirely in your browser—shift times are not uploaded to servers.
Use decimal hours (7.5, not 7:30) when exporting totals to time-tracking apps.

No. Calculations run locally in your browser; clock-in, clock-out, and break values stay on your device.
Type clock-in in HH:MM (AM/PM or 24-hour). Overnight shifts use actual times—midnight crossing is detected automatically.
Type clock-out. If end is earlier than start (e.g., 10 PM to 6 AM), 24 hours is added to the end time before subtracting.
Subtract lunch or other unpaid breaks from gross duration. Paid breaks are not entered here.
Use the decimal output (e.g., 7.5) when logging hours in spreadsheets or time apps.

Enter start and end normally. When end is earlier than start, the tool adds 24 hours to the end time before computing net hours.
Decimal hours = whole hours + (minutes ÷ 60). Example: 7h 30m = 7.5.
Enter only unpaid breaks (typical meal breaks). Paid breaks stay in gross time.
The single-day mode focuses on one shift. Switch to weekly mode to enter clock-in/clock-out for each day of the week and get a running total with automatic overtime detection.
No. Clock-in, clock-out, and break minutes are calculated in your browser with JavaScript—shift data is not sent to EverydayTools servers during normal use.
Decimal hours match many timesheet systems, but employer rounding and break policies may differ—verify with your payroll rules.
Switch to Weekly mode and enter clock-in and clock-out times (plus break minutes) for each day you worked. The calculator sums all days into a weekly total and separates regular hours from overtime. Export as CSV to bring into payroll software.
In the US, the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) requires premium wages at 1.5× the regular rate for non-exempt employees who work more than 40 hours in a single workweek. Some states like California also require daily premium hours beyond 8 hours. Switch to Overtime mode and enter your regular weekly hours threshold to see how many hours qualify.
Time and a half = regular hourly rate × 1.5. If you earn $20/hr normally, premium hours pay $30/hr. In the Payroll mode, enter your hourly rate and the tool computes straight wages, premium wages, and total gross separately.
The standard full-time workweek in the US is 40 hours. Beyond 40, federal law requires premium wages at 1.5× the regular rate for non-exempt employees. Part-time is typically under 35 hours. Salaried exempt employees are not covered by premium-hour rules regardless of hours worked.
After entering your weekly schedule in Weekly mode, click the Export CSV button. The downloaded file includes date, clock-in, clock-out, break minutes, net hours, and decimal hours for each day — ready to paste into Excel, Google Sheets, or payroll software.
Total hours = (clock-out − clock-in) − unpaid break time. Example: 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM = 8.5 gross hours. Subtract 30 minutes unpaid lunch: 8.5 − 0.5 = 8.0 net hours. Enter the break in minutes and the calculator handles the subtraction automatically.
Enter clock-in, clock-out, and unpaid break minutes (or break start/end). This Work Hours Calculator is the single time-card and timesheet tool for net decimal hours—daily shifts, overnight wraps, and weekly totals in one place.
For elapsed time only, 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM is 8 hours on the Time Duration Calculator. This page is for net work hours: enter the shift, subtract unpaid breaks, and read the weekly total.
The IRS and ACA define part-time as under 30 hours per week. Most employers consider 35 hours or fewer to be part-time, though this varies. The weekly work hours calculator can track part-time schedules just as easily as full-time ones.
Yes. In weekly mode, each day is entered independently — you can mix day shifts, evening shifts, and overnight shifts in the same week. The tool handles overnight detection per row and sums all days correctly.
Work Hours Calculator — Net Hours, Breaks & Decimal Time (/work-hours-calculator) runs in your browser when supported—inputs are not uploaded to EverydayTools servers.
Net hours follow the times you enter; overnight detection adds 24 hours when end precedes start on the clock.
Hour totals are estimates from the times you enter. Employer rounding and break policies may differ—keep your original shift records.
