How to Calculate Hours Worked

If you need to submit a time card or track time for a job or project, then you probably need to track the hours you worked. Follow a few simple steps to find the total time you worked.

Step One: Convert Start and End to 24-Hour Time

The first step in calculating hours is to convert the start and end times to 24-hour time, sometimes called military time. To do this, morning hours will stay the same, and you will add 12 if the time is in the afternoon (1:00 pm to 11:59 pm).



For example,
let’s calculate the elapsed time in hours for a start time at 9:00 am and an end time at 5:30 pm with a 30-minute lunch break.

Start by adding 12 hours to the end time to convert it to 24-hour time.

5:30 + 12 hours = 17:30


Step Two: Convert Minutes to Decimal Hours

The next step is to convert each time to decimal hours. You can use our time to decimal calculator for this, or just divide the minutes by 60.



For example,
let’s convert the end time (17:30) to a decimal time by
