Hours Calculator

Calculate hours worked between clock times, across one or more shifts.

Calculated locally in your browser using your device's date and time.
  • Handles overnight shifts (an end time earlier than the start time is treated as crossing midnight, not a negative duration).
  • Add multiple shifts to total a full timesheet, not just one entry.
  • Deducts an unpaid break per shift, and converts the total to decimal hours (and pay, if you enter a rate) for payroll.

Why this is private

  • Calculated locally in your browser using your device's date and time.
  • Open your browser's DevTools → Network tab while using this tool — you won't see a request carrying your input, because it never leaves your device.
  • Nothing you enter is uploaded to a server or shared with us — the processing happens entirely on your device.

Overview

Calculates the total time worked between a start and end clock time — for a single shift or several — with an optional unpaid break deducted from each, plus decimal hours and total pay if you enter an hourly rate. This is a different question from Date Difference Calculator: that tool counts days between two dates, this one totals hours worked between clock-in and clock-out times.

How to use it

  1. 1Enter a start and end time for the shift.
  2. 2Enter any unpaid break in minutes (leave at 0 if none).
  3. 3Add more shifts for a multi-day total.
  4. 4Optionally enter an hourly rate to see total pay.

Tips

  • If a shift's end time is earlier than its start time, this tool assumes it crossed midnight (e.g. a night shift) rather than treating it as an error — double-check that's what you meant if the total looks larger than expected.
