Formula / logic

Hours worked = (Clock-out time − Clock-in time) − Break minutes, converted to decimal hours for payroll (e.g. 7h 30m = 7.5).

Worked example

Clock in 9:00 AM, clock out 5:30 PM, 30-minute break: total time is 8h 30m minus 30m break = 8 hours worked.

They calculate the same thing — total hours from start and end time — just under a different common search name.

Yes — if clock-out is earlier in the day than clock-in, the calculator assumes the shift ended the next day.

The tool assumes any break you enter is unpaid and subtracts it from the total — leave it at 0 if breaks are paid at your workplace.

No — it calculates gross hours and gross pay only (hours × rate). Tax withholding depends on your location and filing status.
