How does overnight shift calculation work?

If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator automatically adds 24 hours to the end time. For example, a shift from 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM is correctly counted as 8 hours.

What is "unpaid break"?

An unpaid break is time away from work that is not compensated, such as a lunch break. The calculator subtracts the break duration from the total time span to give you net paid hours.

Can I calculate pay in different currencies?

Yes. Enter an hourly rate and choose from USD, EUR, GBP, CAD, AUD, or JPY. The pay is calculated by multiplying the decimal hours worked by the hourly rate.

Does the weekly mode account for overnight shifts?

Yes. Each day row in weekly mode independently applies the same overnight logic, so a night shift entered on any day will be calculated correctly.

What if I leave start or end time blank in weekly mode?

Any row with a blank start or end time is skipped and contributes 0 hours to the weekly total, so you can fill in only the days you worked.
