Employee Hours Calculator — FAQs

How do I convert 8:45 to decimal?

Minutes ÷ 60: 8h45m = 8.75 hours. Payroll systems use decimal hours — this calculator shows both.

Does my break count?

Unpaid breaks (lunch) come off; paid rest breaks stay in. UK workers get a 20-min paid rest break per 6+ hours worked.

Overnight shifts?

End before start wraps midnight automatically — 22:00 to 06:00 = 8 hours.
