Everything is calculated in your browser: no data is sent anywhere. Indicative result: the applicable collective agreement and your payroll consultant have the final word.
How the calculation works
- 1 For each day: hours worked = end − start − break. If the end is before the start, the shift crosses midnight and 24 hours are added.
- 2 Week total = the sum of the seven days. A day with no start and end does not count.
- 3 Decimal hours = total minutes ÷ 60: 40 hours 30 minutes = 40.50. You need them to multiply by an hourly rate.
Frequently asked questions
How do you calculate the hours in a week?
Work out each day's hours (end minus start minus break) and add them up. Five days from 9:00 to 18:00 with a one-hour break make 40 hours.
How do I enter a day off?
Leave start and end empty: the day counts as zero and is left out of the average.
Can I use it for night shifts?
Yes: if the end is before the start, for example 22:00 to 6:00, the calculator treats the shift as ending the next day.
