About this tool

Useful for shift lengths, cooking or charging times, or anything measured purely by time of day rather than calendar dates — if the end time is before the start time, it's treated as happening the next day, so a night shift from 22:00 to 06:00 comes out as 8 hours.

For timesheets, enter an unpaid break to take it off, and use the decimal figure underneath: 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours, which is the format most payroll systems and invoices expect. Multiply it by an hourly rate to work out pay.
