Formulas Used
Hours Worked
Hours Worked = End Time - Start Time - Break TimeThis formula calculates the total hours worked in a shift by subtracting the start time and break time from the end time. It provides the net productive hours, accounting for unpaid breaks, typically measured in hours or fractions thereof.
Earnings
Earnings = Hours Worked × Hourly RateThis formula determines the total earnings for a work period by multiplying the hours worked by the hourly rate. It calculates the compensation for regular or overtime hours, depending on the rate applied, expressed in the relevant currency.
Weekly Completion
Weekly Completion = Total Hours ÷ Target Hours Per WeekThis formula measures the proportion of target weekly hours completed by dividing the total hours worked by the target hours per week. Expressed as a decimal (e.g., 0.8 for 80%), it tracks progress toward a weekly work goal.
Effective Hourly Rate
Effective Hourly Rate = Total Earnings ÷ Total Hours WorkedThis formula calculates the effective hourly rate by dividing the total earnings by the total hours worked. It provides an average pay rate across regular and overtime hours, useful for assessing overall compensation efficiency, expressed in the relevant currency per hour.
