Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate hours worked between two times?
Subtract the start time from the end time, then take away any unpaid break. For example, 9:00 to 17:30 is 8 hours 30 minutes, and a 30 minute break leaves 8 hours worked.
What are decimal hours?
Decimal hours express minutes as a fraction of an hour, which payroll systems often need. For example, 8 hours 30 minutes is 8.5 decimal hours, since 30 minutes is half an hour.
Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, the tool assumes the shift ends the next day and adds 24 hours, so a shift from 22:00 to 06:00 reads as 8 hours.
How is the pay estimated?
The tool multiplies the net hours worked, in decimal form, by the hourly rate you enter. It is an estimate before tax and does not include overtime rules.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The times and rate you enter never leave your computer and the tool works offline once loaded.
Can I use it for a timesheet?
Yes. It works well for a single shift. Calculate each shift, then add the decimal hours together for a weekly total.
