1. Elapsed workday = 09:00 → 17:00 = 480 minutes.
2. Net workday = 480 − 30 = 450 minutes.
3. Eligible weekdays from 2026-11-02 through 2026-11-09 = 6.
4. Business time = 6 × 450 = 2,700 minutes = 45 hours.

The date range is inclusive and uses Monday–Friday only. Public/company holidays are not removed automatically.

An end clock time earlier than the start is treated as the following day for each eligible workday.

This is schedule arithmetic, not a service-level or labor-law determination.

How to use this calculator

Total scheduled business time across an inclusive date range using Monday through Friday, a daily start/end clock and one break deduction per eligible workday. The calculator separates eligible weekdays, excluded weekend days, gross workday length and net business hours instead of hiding those assumptions.

Step-by-step

Step 1
Enter the inclusive start and end dates.
Step 2
Set the normal workday start/end clocks and break minutes deducted from each eligible weekday.
Step 3
Review eligible weekdays, excluded weekends, net time per workday and the total business hours.

How the result is calculated

Business minutes = eligible Monday–Friday days × (elapsed workday minutes − break minutes).

Common questions

Are public holidays removed automatically?

No. This owner counts Monday through Friday only. Public, company and regional holidays require a separate holiday-aware schedule or manual adjustment.

What happens when the workday crosses midnight?

An end clock earlier than the start clock is treated as the following day before the break is deducted.

Are both dates included?

Yes. The entered date range is inclusive, and each Monday-through-Friday date in that range is counted as one eligible workday.

Can the break be longer than the shift?

No. The calculator rejects a break longer than the elapsed workday instead of silently flooring the result at zero.
