Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate hours worked?
Subtract the start time from the end time, then subtract the unpaid break: from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM with a 30-minute lunch is 8 hours. Do this for each day and add up the days for the week.
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?
Divide the minutes by 60: 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes is 0.5 and 45 minutes is 0.75, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. Multiply the decimal hours by the hourly rate to get the pay.
Is the lunch break counted as hours worked?
Under US federal law, short rest breaks of usually 20 minutes or less count as hours worked, while a bona fide meal break, typically 30 minutes or more when you are fully relieved from duty, does not. Enter only the unpaid break; rules in your state or country may differ.
What if a shift goes past midnight?
Enter the end time as it is, for example 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM: when the end is earlier than the start, the calculator counts it as a night shift ending the next day, 8 hours.
When does overtime start?
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees are paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a work week. Some states, such as California, also count overtime per day. Change the limit and the rate to match your rules, or clear the limit to count no overtime.
