Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do you deduct unpaid lunch breaks from daily work hours?

Enter the total duration of your unpaid lunch break in minutes (e.g., 30 or 60 minutes), and the calculator will automatically subtract it from your gross shift duration.

Is my salary and hourly wage data saved?

No. All financial figures and work hours process strictly within your local browser session.

How Work Hours and Earnings are Calculated

This tool processes your timesheet using standard payroll mathematics:

  1. Total Shift Duration: The absolute time elapsed between your Start Time and End Time.
  2. Net Hours Worked: Total Shift Duration minus your Unpaid Break (converted from minutes to hours).
  3. Decimal Conversion: Minutes are divided by 60 to create a decimal hour (e.g., 45 minutes = 45 ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours).
  4. Estimated Gross Earnings: Net Hours Worked (in decimal format) multiplied by your Hourly Pay Rate.
