Why Use an Hours Calculator?
Tracking time accurately is crucial for freelancers tracking billable hours remotely, or shift workers ensuring their paychecks are correct.
Decimal Hours vs. Time format
Payroll systems usually require "Decimal Hours". For example, 30 minutes is 0.5 hours. 45 minutes is 0.75 hours.
How to Calculate:
Subtract the start time from the end time to get gross duration. Then, subtract any unpaid break time to get net or total duration.
