How timesheet hours are calculated

The calculator finds elapsed shift time, handles an overnight shift when needed, subtracts unpaid break minutes and multiplies the paid time by the number of days worked.

Example: 09:00 to 17:30, 30-minute break, 5 daysThe paid day is 8 hours. Repeating that shift for five days gives 40 paid hours for the week.

Work hours vs elapsed time

Elapsed time includes the entire span between clock-in and clock-out. Paid time removes the break you enter. This is a mathematical timesheet helper and does not apply employment-law or overtime rules.

Common questions

Can it handle overnight shifts?

Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time, the end is treated as occurring the next day.

Does this calculate overtime pay?

No. It reports hours only. Overtime thresholds and pay multipliers depend on workplace and jurisdiction rules.

Can the break be longer than the shift?

The calculator never returns negative paid time; an excessive break reduces paid time to zero.
