How do I calculate hours worked between two times?
Subtract the start time from the end time in minutes, then convert to hours. Example: 9:15am to 5:45pm. Convert to minutes: (17×60+45) - (9×60+15) = 1065 - 555 = 510 minutes. 510 ÷ 60 = 8.5 hours. For a 30-minute break: 8.5 - 0.5 = 8.0 hours. In decimal: 8.0 hours × hourly rate = daily pay. This calculator handles the subtraction and break deduction automatically.
