Hours worked
(per week)
You can calculate the working hours of any week by using Breathe's working hours calculator above. Just type in each working shift or use the dropdown box provided.
By entering your start and end times, along with any break time in minutes, you can easily compute your total work hours for the week. This tool is particularly useful for managing both full-time and part-time employees, helping you keep track of total hours worked and ensuring compliance with working time regulations.
Maximum working hours are capped at 48 hours a week, on average, under the working time directive. (This applies to adults over 18.)
If you opt out of this law, you can choose to work more hours than this.
There isn’t an official number of weekly hours that makes someone a part-time worker, but a full-time worker will normally work around 35 hours per week.
Legally, workers are entitled to one uninterrupted 20-minute rest break if they work more than 6 hours per day (regardless of if they work full or part-time).
This doesn’t have to be paid – it depends on their employment contract whether it is or not.
To convert hh:mm digital time to decimal hours, you'll need to divide the minutes by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour. For example, if you have a time of 7:30, this translates to 7 hours and 30 minutes. To find the decimal equivalent, divide 30 by 60, which gives you 0.5. Therefore, 7:30 in decimal hours is 7.5.
This conversion is particularly useful when using a work hours calculator to ensure accurate calculations of total hours worked, especially when managing payroll or tracking employee hours in a work week time sheet.
A timesheet is either a document or digital tool that companies use to log the number of hours each of their employees work. It records details like start and end times, breaks, and total hours worked for payroll or project tracking purposes.
They're useful because they help with accurate payroll processing, and can help when you have part-time employees or those working irregular shifts.
Using a timesheet calculator like Breathe’s allows you to simplify this process, making it easy to log and total work hours over a day, week, or even longer periods. This ensures accuracy and saves time, making payroll hassle-free.
