Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Is this Work Hour Calculator free?
Yes, this tool is 100% free to use, provided by Sustainable Digital Shop.
Q2: How does the calculator handle shifts that go past midnight?
The calculator automatically detects if the end time is earlier than the start time and assumes the shift has crossed midnight (i.e., the end time is on the next day). It then calculates the duration correctly.
Q3: Can I calculate hours for multiple days or a whole week?
This specific calculator is designed for calculating a single work period (e.g., one day’s shift). To calculate hours for multiple days, you would use the calculator for each day and then sum the results manually or use a spreadsheet.
Q4: What format should I use for break duration?
Please enter the total break duration in minutes (e.g., for a 1-hour break, enter 60; for 30 minutes, enter 30).
Q5: Why is the time shown in decimal hours as well?
Decimal hours (e.g., 7.5 hours instead of 7 hours 30 minutes) are commonly used in payroll systems for easier calculation of wages. Providing both formats offers flexibility.
