Convert work hours and minutes to decimal payroll hours and compute gross wages with customizable overtime multipliers.
Did this calculation save you time?
Student ProjectHi! I'm a student developer building Calculat in my spare time. I was tired of searching for basic math tools and having to click through 10 spammy popups, loan ads, and cookie trackers.
I keep this website 100% free, private, and ad-free. If this helped you with your homework, project, or finances today, bookmarking this page or telling a friend helps me keep building more free tools!
A payroll hours calculator translates clock times expressed in hours and minutes into decimal fractions (e.g., 42 hours 15 minutes = 42.25 hours) required by modern accounting software, and computes regular and overtime gross earnings.
H_{\text{dec}} = H + \frac{M}{60} \quad ; \quad \text{Gross} = (H_{\text{reg}} \cdot R) + (H_{\text{OT}} \cdot R \cdot M_{\text{OT}})Minutes are divided by 60 to convert from base-60 to base-10 decimal format before applying hourly wage rates.
Scenario: 44 hours and 15 minutes worked at $28.00/hour with standard 1.5x overtime.
Convert minutes: 15 / 60 = 0.25 hours.
Total decimal hours: 44.25 hrs.
Regular pay: 40.0 hrs × $28.00 = $1,120.00.
Overtime: 4.25 hrs × ($28.00 × 1.5 = $42.00) = $178.50.
Divide 20 by 60: 20 ÷ 60 = 0.333 decimal hours.
The federal standard is 1.5x (time-and-a-half) for hours worked over 40 in a workweek.
Double-time is 2.0x your regular rate, typically reserved for emergency call-ins, 7th consecutive days of work, or statutory holidays.
Computers multiply base-10 decimals directly by currency values (e.g., 40.5 hrs × $20/hr = $810), which cannot be done directly with base-60 minutes.

Calculate work hours between clock-in and clock-out times with unpaid break deductions and gross wage earnings.
