Quick answer

Hours worked = end time − start time − breaks. A shift from 09:30 to 18:15 with a 45-minute lunch is 8 hours exactly, or 8.00 decimal hours; over 5 days that is 40 hours. Shifts that cross midnight are handled too: 22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours. Decimal hours are what most timesheets and overtime pay use (15 minutes = 0.25 hours).

How to use this calculator

Enter start and end times in 24-hour format.
