Useful context
How it works
Use the calculator first, then scan the details below when you want more context about the inputs, result, or assumptions.
How to use it
Enter start and end times, add a break in minutes, and review gross and net working hours.
Understand the result
Net hours are the time available after the break; an earlier end time is treated as an overnight shift.
Example
A 09:00 to 17:00 shift with a 30-minute break contains 7 hours and 30 minutes of net working time.
Notes
Times use a 24-hour clock. If the end time is earlier than the start time, an overnight shift is assumed.
