Calculate the exact duration between a start and finish date, including overnight work, then subtract an unpaid break. The result can be copied into a project task so billed time and the final estimate stay consistent.
Calculate working hoursfinish date and time − start date and time − unpaid break = paid working time
Use full dates rather than assuming the shift ends on the same day. If work ends after midnight, select the following calendar date before subtracting the break.
Start Monday at 22:30 and finish Tuesday at 06:15. The elapsed time is 7 hours 45 minutes. Subtract a 30-minute unpaid break and the paid working time is 7 hours 15 minutes.
Select the date and time when paid work actually began.
For an overnight shift, choose the following date rather than entering an end time earlier than the start.
Remove unpaid breaks in minutes. Keep paid meetings, research and client communication in the total.
Yes. Choose the real start date and the following calendar date for the finish.
Enter the total unpaid break in minutes. It is subtracted from the elapsed time.
Yes. Add the calculated hours and minutes to a task in the 5SOLO project estimate.
