How to use it

  1. Type your clock-in time. Formats are flexible: 9, 9am, 0900, or 09:00.
  2. Type your clock-out. If it is earlier than the start, an overnight shift is assumed and 24 hours are added.
  3. The hours for that shift appear immediately in hh:mm and decimal.
  4. Press Add shift to total several shifts, or Clear to start over.

When you want hours without the extras

Sometimes you do not need a full timesheet. You clocked in, you clocked out, and you want the number. This calculator strips everything else away: no lunch field, no rounding, no overtime toggles. Start minus end, with overnight shifts handled, shown two ways.

The math it runs

Each shift is the clock-out minus the clock-in, measured in minutes. A 9:00 start and a 17:30 end is 510 minutes, which is 8:30 in hours-and-minutes or 8.5 in decimal. When the end is earlier than the start — say 22:00 to 06:00 — the tool adds a full day (1,440 minutes) so the result is a clean 8:00 instead of a negative number.

Decimal hours for payroll

Payroll and invoicing systems usually want decimal hours, not minutes. The rule is simple: minutes divided by 60. Fifteen minutes is 0.25, thirty is 0.5, forty-five is 0.75. The decimal hours converter has the full minute-by-minute chart if you would rather look it up.

Need breaks or a weekly total?

If you take an unpaid lunch or want to add up a whole week, the weekly time card calculator handles breaks, rounding, overtime, and pay. This page stays deliberately simple.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate work hours without a lunch break?

Enter your clock-in and clock-out. The calculator subtracts the start from the end and shows the result. With no break to remove, an 8:00 to 16:30 shift is a straight 8 hours 30 minutes.

How do I turn hours and minutes into a decimal?

Divide the minutes by 60. 8 hours 30 minutes is 8 + 30/60 = 8.5 hours. This tool shows both formats so you can copy whichever payroll needs.

Does it work for an overnight shift?

Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start, such as 23:00 to 07:00, the shift is assumed to cross midnight and the tool adds 24 hours, returning 8 hours.

Can I total more than one shift?

Yes. Press Add shift to stack more clock-in/clock-out rows. Each shift shows its own hours and the grand total updates as you type.

What time formats can I type?

Almost any: 9, 9:00, 9am, 0900, and 17:30 are all understood. AM/PM and the 24-hour clock are detected automatically.
