Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about calculating time, durations, and work shifts.

How do you add multiple hours and minutes together?

Sum all minutes together and all hours together. Divide the total minutes by 60 to find the carried hours and remaining minutes. Add the carried hours to the total hours. For instance, 3h 45m + 4h 30m = 7h 75m = 8 hours and 15 minutes.

Can I calculate pay from my total hours?

Yes. Input your hourly billing or wage rate into the optional pay rate field. The calculator automatically multiplies your total decimal hours by your hourly rate to calculate your gross earnings.

How do I add hours with a lunch break?

You can either enter your morning and afternoon shifts as separate rows (e.g. Row 1: 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, Row 2: 1:15 PM to 5:00 PM), or use our dedicated Work Hours Calculator which includes an automatic break deduction field.
