Add your shifts, set your rate and overtime rules — get total hours, overtime split and gross pay instantly.
Enter shifts as 24-hour times (e.g. 09:00 to 18:00). Overnight shifts are supported: an end time earlier than the start is treated as the next day.
How the work hours calculator works
Add one row per shift with start time, end time and unpaid break minutes. The calculator totals your hours, splits regular vs overtime hours (overtime = hours beyond your daily threshold, default 8), and multiplies by your hourly rate and overtime multiplier to give gross pay.
Who uses it
Freelancers tracking billable hours across a week.
Shift workers checking overtime on timesheets.
Employers verifying payroll totals quickly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my work hours?
Enter each shift's start and end time plus unpaid break minutes. The calculator subtracts breaks, totals the hours, and applies your overtime rules automatically.
What counts as overtime?
By default, hours beyond 8 per day count as overtime at 1.5x pay. You can change both the threshold and the multiplier above to match your contract or local law.
Does it handle overnight shifts?
Yes. If the end time is earlier than the start time (for example 22:00 to 06:00), it is treated as an overnight shift ending the next day.
