Introduction
The Time Sheet Calculator Decimal is a useful tool for tracking and calculating working hours in decimal format. Whether you are an employee logging your hours or an employer managing time records, this calculator simplifies the process of converting time in and time out into decimal hours.
Formula
To calculate the total hours worked, the calculator first converts the time in and time out values into a usable format. It then subtracts the time in from the time out to determine the time worked in hours. The result is provided in decimal format.
How to Use
- Enter the time you started working in the "Time In (HH:MM AM/PM)" field. Use the 12-hour format, e.g., "09:00 AM."
- Input the time you finished working in the "Time Out (HH:MM AM/PM)" field, also in the 12-hour format.
- Click the "Calculate" button.
- The calculator will display the total hours worked in decimal format in the "Total Hours (decimal)" field.
Example
Suppose you start work at 9:00 AM and finish at 5:30 PM. To calculate the total hours worked:
- Time In (HH:MM AM/PM): 09:00 AM
- Time Out (HH:MM AM/PM): 05:30 PM
After clicking "Calculate," the calculator will provide the total hours worked, which in this case is 8.50 hours in decimal format.
