Use this free work hours counter to turn your start time, end time, and any break into the hours you worked, shown in hours and minutes and as a decimal, plus your pay if you add an hourly rate. It works as a simple time counter for shifts and timesheets.
Overnight shifts are handled automatically. Everything is calculated in your browser.
This work hours counter turns a start time and an end time into the hours you actually worked. Enter when you clocked in and out, add a break if you took one, and the counter subtracts that break from the total so the result reflects paid time rather than the full window you were there.
If your shift runs past midnight, you do not need to do anything special — when the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator assumes the shift carries into the next day. The result is shown both as hours and minutes and as decimal hours, since payroll and timesheets usually use the decimal form. Add your hourly rate and it also estimates your gross pay, before any tax or deductions.
