THE THINKING BEHIND THE ANSWER

How this calculation works

Choose the following day for an overnight shift. This tool supports a single shift of up to 24 hours. It calculates simple gross pay without overtime premiums, taxes, statutory breaks, or payroll deductions.

Paid hours = (end − start − unpaid break) ÷ 60. Estimated pay = paid hours × hourly rate.

Your calculation, step by step

  1. Shift duration: 8h 30m.
  2. Subtract 30 unpaid minutes to get 8 paid hours.
  3. Multiply by your hourly rate of 25.
A worked example

09:00 to 17:30, less a 30-minute unpaid break, is 8 paid hours.
