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. For more insights, you might also find our Shipping Cost Calculator useful.
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.
