How to Calculate Your Hourly Wages
Whether you are a freelancer, an hourly employee, or a manager verifying payroll, accurately calculating time worked is critical for fair compensation.
Handling Unpaid Breaks
Many shifts include mandatory 30-minute or 60-minute unpaid lunch breaks. This calculator allows you to easily subtract those minutes from the total billable time.
Gross Pay Calculation
$$\text{Gross Pay} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Mins} - \text{Break Mins}}{60} \right) \times \text{Hourly Rate}$$
Converts total working minutes into decimal hours, then multiplies by the hourly rate.
Numerical Example Calculation
Working from 09:00 to 17:00 (8 hours) with a 30-minute unpaid break results in 7.5 billable hours. At $25/hr, gross pay is $187.50.
