How Work Hours Are Calculated

1

Calculate Work Time

Hours between start and end time minus break duration.

2

Multiply by Days

Daily hours × work days per week = weekly hours. Monthly = weekly × 52 ÷ 12.

3

Calculate Earnings

Hours × hourly rate for each period. Overtime may apply beyond 40 hrs/week.

US Overtime Rules

  • Federal law: Time and a half (1.5×) for hours over 40 per week
  • Some states: Double time after 12 hours in a day or on holidays
  • Exempt employees: Salaried workers may not be eligible for overtime

Verified accuracy

Cross-checked against authoritative formulas (IRS, NIST, ACM) and updated for 2025/2026 tax years and rates.
