How to calculate the duration between two times

  1. Enter the start and end time

    Type the times exactly as they appear on the clock – for example a shift from 09:00 to 17:00. The duration updates instantly as you type; no Calculate button needed.

  2. Subtract any unpaid break

    If you took an unpaid lunch break, enter its length in minutes and the calculator takes it off the total. Paid breaks stay in the duration because they count as time worked.

  3. Read the total, print or save

    The summary shows the duration in hours and minutes, in decimal hours for payroll and in total minutes. Print the result or save it as a PDF for your records.

Working past midnight? Enter the times as they appear on the clock – 22:00 to 06:00 is counted as 8 hours, not a negative number, because a finish earlier than the start means the next day.
