FAQs
How are overnight shifts handled?
If your end time is earlier than your start time, the calculator assumes you worked past midnight and adds 24 hours automatically — for example, 22:00 to 06:00 counts as 8 hours.
What time format should I use?
The time fields use the 24-hour clock. On most devices you can pick the time from a handy picker rather than typing it.
Can I subtract more than one break?
Yes — simply add your breaks together and enter the total number of minutes in the break field.
Is any of my data stored?
No. All calculations happen locally in your browser, and the times you enter never leave your device.
