About This Work Hours Calculator
This work hours calculator turns start time, end time, unpaid breaks, days worked, and hourly rate into paid hours and estimated gross pay.
It supports overnight shifts by rolling the end time into the next day when needed, then subtracts unpaid break minutes from the total shift duration.
Use it for checking timesheets, planning weekly hours, comparing part-time schedules, or estimating gross pay before tax, deductions, overtime premiums, and local employment rules.
