Calculate the actual hours worked in a day, minus the break — with night-shift support and hourly pay.
Enter the schedule
Enter the start, end and break. For night shifts, the end can be “next day”. The rate is optional.
Precise calendar calculations. Everything is computed instantly in your browser, no account, no data sent. Leap years and Gregorian calendar rules are handled.
The start time is subtracted from the end time, then the break minutes. The result is shown in hours and minutes and in decimal hours; shifts crossing midnight are handled automatically:
09:00–17:30 with a 60-min break = 7 hours 30 minutes = 7.5 hours decimal. At 50/hour: 375.
Enter the start time, end time and break minutes. For example, 09:00–17:30 with a 60-minute break = 7 hours 30 minutes worked (7.5 decimal hours).
The break minutes are subtracted from the gross span. For an 8-hour-30 interval with a 60-minute break, 7 hours 30 minutes worked remain.
It is the duration as a decimal number: 7 hours 30 minutes = 7.5 hours. The decimal form is used for timesheets and pay (hours × rate).
If the end time is earlier than the start (e.g. 22:00–06:00), the calculator assumes the shift crosses into the next day and automatically adds 24 hours.
Enter the hourly rate; pay = decimal hours × rate. At 7.5 hours and 50/hour that is 375.
In the UK a full-time day is typically 7.5–8 hours (37.5–40 hours a week), and the Working Time Regulations cap the average week at 48 hours unless you opt out. Compare the result with your contracted hours to check a day.
Yes. This calculator gives the actual hours worked; overtime is the part exceeding the norm and may be paid at a premium, computed separately.
Timesheets, attendance sheets, billing work by the hour, freelancing and checking daily or per-shift pay.
