The time between two times, minus breaks — in hours, minutes and decimal.
Enter a start and end time and the calculator returns the gap, subtracts any unpaid break, and shows the result two ways: as hours and minutes, and as decimal hours — the format payroll and invoicing systems expect, where 8 hours 30 minutes is 8.5, not 8.30. The conversion trips people up because there are 60 minutes in an hour, not 100: to convert minutes to decimal, divide by 60 (45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75). If the end time is earlier than the start, the calculator assumes the shift ran past midnight and counts it as overnight, so a 10 pm to 6 am shift comes out as 8 hours. It's built for timesheets and shift totals; for a single day's worth of multiple entries, run each and add the decimals. To count whole days instead of hours, see the date calculator.
