This calculator does it for you.","It has three parts: it calculates the working time from start, end and break – including night shifts across midnight. It adds up any number of times, also negative ones such as absences. And it converts between hours:minutes and decimal hours as used for billing: 7:45 hours are 7.75 hours.","Everything runs in your browser. For periods between calendar dates, use the [[date-calculator]].",[9,10,11,12],"Enter start, end and break – the working time appears instantly, also as a decimal number.","To add up, write one time per line in “Add up times”, e.g. the days of a week.","Negative values like -0:15 subtract time.","In “Convert”, turn 7:45 into 7.75 hours or vice versa.",[14,17,20,23,26],{"q":15,"a":16},"How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?","Divide the minutes by 60: 45 minutes are 0.75 hours, so 7:45 is 7.75. Conversely, 0.2 hours × 60 = 12 minutes.",{"q":18,"a":19},"What about shifts across midnight?","If the end is before the start, the calculator automatically counts across midnight: 22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours (before deducting the break).",{"q":21,"a":22},"How much break is required?","In Germany, the Working Hours Act requires at least 30 minutes of break for more than 6 hours of work and at least 45 minutes for more than 9 hours. Other countries and collective agreements may have different rules.",{"q":24,"a":25},"Which input formats are recognized when adding?","Hours:minutes (7:45), with seconds (1:30:00), decimal hours with comma or dot (7,5 or 7.5h) and minutes (90min). A leading minus subtracts the time.",{"q":27,"a":28},"How do I calculate my earnings from the hours?","Multiply the decimal hours by your hourly rate, e.g. 7.75 h × 40 = 310. The [[rule-of-three]] calculator helps with further calculations.",1792082296845]
