How it works

If the end is earlier than the start, add 24 hours. Net duration = elapsed time − break.

What to keep in mind

Equal times mean zero elapsed time. Designed for intervals shorter than 24 hours; daylight-saving changes are excluded.

Worked example

Start time: 09:00; End time: 17:30; Unpaid break (minutes): 30.

Net hours: 8 · Net minutes: 480 · Elapsed hours: 8.5.
