The Calculation Steps

To find your net payable hours, the calculator follows a clear process:

  1. Calculate Total Shift Duration: It first finds the total time in minutes from your shift's start to its end.
  2. Subtract Unpaid Break: The number of minutes you entered for an unpaid break is subtracted from the total shift duration.
  3. Determine Payable Hours: The remaining minutes are your payable time. This is converted into two formats:
    • Hours & Minutes: For easy reading (e.g., 7:30).
    • Decimal Hours: For easier payroll calculations (e.g., 7.50).

Example from Your Shift

Using the times you entered:

  • Shift: From 08:00 to 16:30
  • Unpaid Break: 30 minutes

The total duration of your shift is 8.50 hours. After subtracting the 30-minute break, your net payable time is 08:00. The timeline visual shows how your paid time and break time are allocated within the total shift duration.
