To calculate how many hours you worked, you can follow these steps:
- Determine the start and end time of your work period (the time you clocked in and clocked out).
- Convert these times to 24-hour format for easier calculation.
- Subtract the start time from the end time to get the total hours worked.
- Subtract any unpaid breaks taken during the work period.
- Optionally, convert the minutes into decimal format by dividing minutes by 60 for easier payroll or record-keeping.
For example, if you started work at 9:00 AM and finished at 5:30 PM with a 30-minute unpaid break:
- Convert 5:30 PM to 17:30 in 24-hour format.
- Calculate the difference: 17.5 (decimal for 17:30) - 9.0 = 8.5 hours.
- Subtract the break: 8.5 - 0.5 = 8.0 hours worked.
If you want, I can help create a simple calculator for you to enter your start time, end time, and break time to calculate total hours worked. Would you like that?
