From clock-in time to actual hours worked
The tool finds the difference between clock-in and clock-out, subtracts the break, and converts the result to decimal hours for pay calculations.
How to calculate hours worked
Convert both times to minutes, subtract the start from the end, and deduct the unpaid break. For an overnight shift, add 24 hours before subtracting. Divide net minutes by 60 for decimal hours.
Multiply decimal hours by the rate
Eight hours at $20 per hour produces estimated pay of $160 before taxes or adjustments.
