The hours calculator compares two explicit datetimes. It first measures the elapsed duration, optionally subtracts one total break duration in minutes, and then shows total time, net work time, and decimal hours.
It is useful for shift checks, scheduling, project duration, contractor billing, and basic timesheet review. It is not a payroll system and does not decide what counts as legal overtime in a particular jurisdiction.
