How to Use the Workday Calculator
- Enter the start time of your workday in the "Start Time" field using the format HH:MM (e.g., 09:00 for 9:00 AM).
- Enter the end time of your workday in the "End Time" field using the format HH:MM (e.g., 17:30 for 5:30 PM).
- Enter the total break duration in minutes in the "Break Duration" field. This includes all breaks such as lunch breaks, short breaks, etc.
- Click the "Calculate" button to calculate the total work hours.
- The results will display the total work hours and total minutes worked.
Example
If you start work at 09:00 AM and finish at 5:30 PM with a 1-hour break, the calculator will calculate:
- Work hours: 7.50 hours (8 hours - 1 hour break)
- Work minutes: 450 minutes
Working Principle
The calculator works by:
- Converting both start and end times to minutes since midnight.
- Subtracting the break duration from the total time worked.
- Converting the result back to hours and minutes for display.
Important Notes
- Ensure that the end time is after the start time for accurate results.
- The break duration should be entered in whole minutes.
- If the end time is entered before the start time, the calculator will display "Invalid" to indicate an error.
