How it is calculated
Duration = end − start − break, adding 24 hours when the end time falls on the next day
Decimal hours are minutes ÷ 60, which is the format most timesheets and invoices expect.
Worked example
09:00 to 17:30 with a 30-minute break is 8 hours 0 minutes, or 8.00 decimal hours. At a rate of 500 that is 4,000.
Questions people ask
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time it is treated as the next day, so 22:00 to 06:00 returns 8 hours.
Payroll systems bill in decimal hours. 30 minutes is 0.5 hours, and 20 minutes is 0.33 — the calculator shows both formats.
