Shift Hours Calculator

Total worked hours for one shift, including a shift that crosses midnight, with an unpaid break you type.

What it does

the end time minus the start time, adding 24 hours when the end is not after the start, minus the unpaid break; and, if you type a rate, those hours times that rate.

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.
