All results show both decimal hours (for payroll) and hours-and-minutes (for timesheets).

Frequently asked questions

Enter your start time, end time and break duration in the Hours Worked Calculator. It shows total hours in both decimal (7.50) and HH:MM (7h 30m) format. Most payroll systems use decimal hours.

Divide annual salary by total work hours per year. For a standard 40-hour week: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour. The Salary to Hourly calculator also shows monthly, biweekly and daily rates.

Overtime pay = overtime hours x hourly rate x multiplier. Under US federal law, overtime is 1.5x after 40 hours per week. Ten hours of OT at $25/hour = $375 extra. Our Overtime Calculator shows the full breakdown.

A standard full-time year has 2,080 work hours (40 hours x 52 weeks). After typical US PTO (25 days), net working hours drop to about 1,880. The Work Hours in a Period calculator customizes this for any schedule.

Divide your target annual income by billable hours. Freelancers typically bill 25-30 hours per week (not 40). With $80,000 target, 30 billable hours and 4 weeks off: $80,000 ÷ 1,440 = $55.56/hour.
