How to use this calculator
- Enter the time you started and finished each day.
- Add break minutes you weren't paid for.
- Read the daily total, then the weekly total in hh:mm and decimal hours.
- Use the overtime setting if you want regular and overtime split out.
How overtime is handled
Turn on a weekly threshold to split your hours into regular and overtime, or leave it on None if you just want the raw total of hours worked.
How breaks are handled
Subtract unpaid break time by entering the minutes for each day. If your breaks are paid, leave it at 0 and they count toward your total.
Examples
Checking a paycheck
You worked 8:00 AM–4:30 PM with a 45-minute lunch four days, and 8:00 AM–12:00 PM on Friday. That's 31:00 worked, or 31.00 decimal hours.
A weekly total
Five days of 7 hours 45 minutes each totals 38:45, which is 38.75 in decimal hours.
Tips
- If your pay stub uses decimals and your schedule uses hh:mm, this is the fastest way to compare them.
- Set the same rounding rule your employer uses so your numbers line up.
Need to turn minutes into decimals (15 = 0.25, 30 = 0.50, 45 = 0.75)? Use the minutes-to-decimal guide or the decimal hours calculator.
Printing & exporting your timesheet
Use Print / save as PDF for a clean report — ads, navigation, and controls are removed automatically by the print styles, leaving just your hours and totals. Use Export CSV to download a spreadsheet you can import into payroll or open in Excel or Google Sheets.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate hours worked between two times?
Subtract the start time from the end time, then subtract unpaid breaks. This calculator does it for you and handles shifts that cross midnight.
What if my hours don't match my employer's?
Check the rounding rule and break minutes first — those are the most common causes of small differences. Then verify your start and end times.
