Break Deduction Calculator

Gross shift length with a paid break counted and an unpaid break deducted, both in minutes you type.

What it does

end minus start, the unpaid minutes taken off, the paid minutes shown separately, and pay if you type a rate. No break length is assumed by the page.

The page is arithmetic: it reads the numbers you type and returns hours and, where a rate is involved, a gross figure from your own numbers. It is not a payroll system, it decides nothing, and no rate, threshold, break length or rule is stored in the tool. A box you leave empty is treated as zero.

Where the rules live

The state rule text on this site is restated from the US Department of Labor Wage and Hour Division tables on the state pages, and the authority for every rule is the Department of Labor and your state labor office. This page does not interpret any of it.
