How does the calculator handle overnight shifts?

Our engine is "Date-Aware." By setting the End Date to the next day when entering your end time, the calculator automatically recognizes the crossover and provides the correct total duration. Even without date changes, our logic assumes a 24-hour cycle to handle basic overnight gaps.

What is a "Decimal Hour" and why is it useful?

A decimal hour is a representation of time in base-10 (e.g., 1.5 hours instead of 1h 30m). This is the standard for US payroll and invoicing because it allows you to easily multiply time by an hourly rate (e.g., 1.5 hrs * $50/hr = $75).

Can I subtract breaks using this tool?

Yes. We have included an "Auto-Subtract Break" toggle designed for professional US labor scenarios. When enabled, it automatically removes 30 minutes from your calculated total, saving you the manual math during daily logs.

Is my temporal data shared or saved?

No. To ensure 100% professional privacy, all calculations happen **locally in your browser**. We never see your schedules, shift times, or project durations. This makes it safe for auditing sensitive US government or corporate contracts.

Does this tool support AM/PM format?

Yes. The time input follows your browser's local settings. On most US-based systems, it will provide a standard AM/PM picker, while also allowing for direct manual entry.
