Net worked

This result is a mathematical estimate based only on the values entered.

How it is calculated

Net worked time = elapsed minutes − break minutes.

The default spans eight elapsed hours; entering a break changes the net total unless the end time is also adjusted.

Worked example

9 to 5: 8h 00m

Important cases

  • A 30-minute break in a 9-to-5 span produces 7h 30m.
  • The preset is editable rather than enforcing eight hours.
