The calculator uses this simple formula to determine net working hours:

Worked Example
Example Calculation
Let's say you worked a total of 8 hours today, including breaks. You took a 1-hour lunch break. Here's how the calculation works:
Total Hours: 8 hours
Break Time: 1 hour
Using the formula:
Net Working Hours = 8 hours - 1 hour = 7 hours
So your net working hours would be 7 hours.
This example shows how the calculator helps you understand your actual working time after accounting for breaks.
