How to use the shift length calculator.

Add the requested inputs

Use the labelled fields in the workspace above. If example values are provided, try them first or replace them with your own.

Calculate and review

Use the main action when needed. If the finish is earlier than the start, it is placed on the next day; unpaid break minutes are then subtracted.

Try a worked example

A 22:00 start and 06:00 finish is treated as an overnight eight-hour span before breaks.

Check the assumptions

Payroll rounding, paid breaks, overtime and local working-time rules may change the payable figure.
