Overnight Shift Calculator

Count a shift crossing midnight and see worked hours after an unpaid break.

Enter values, then select Calculate.

Worked example

10:00 PM to 6:30 AM is 8 hours 30 minutes elapsed. With 30 unpaid minutes, the result is 8:00 worked.

A shift crossing the start of an employer’s fixed workweek may need to be split across two weeks. For several days, use the main time card.

Which date receives overnight hours?

The full time card assigns work by calendar day so a Sunday/Monday crossing can enter separate workweeks.

Does daylight saving time change the result?

This clock-time estimate does not resolve timezone transitions. Verify the actual elapsed time when a shift crosses a clock change.

For a full week with daily entries, use the time card calculator. See how the arithmetic works.
