Formula

Hours = (clock out − clock in − break minutes) ÷ 60Pay = hours × hourly rate

How it works

Enter when the shift started and ended and how long the unpaid break was. The calculator turns both times into minutes, subtracts the break and converts the result to decimal hours, which is the figure payroll multiplies by your hourly rate.

Night shifts are handled automatically: if the clock-out time is earlier than the clock-in time, the shift is assumed to end the next day.

The weekly figures repeat the same shift for the number of days you enter. Overtime premiums, tips, taxes and deductions are not included, so treat the pay as gross pay before withholding.

Frequently asked questions

Should paid breaks be subtracted?

No. Only subtract unpaid breaks such as a lunch break. In the US, short rest breaks of up to 20 minutes are normally paid and count as hours worked.

How do I write 8 hours 20 minutes as a decimal?

20 ÷ 60 = 0.333, so it is 8.33 hours. Writing 8.20 would underpay by about 8 minutes.
