How to calculate hours worked and minus lunch time in Excel?

As a company employee, we need punch in and punch out every work day, counting the total worked time and minus the lunch time of a day can help to calculate salary according to the time. For example, I have the following daily attendance record which contains log in, log out and lunch start, lunch end times in a worksheet, now, I want to calculate the total hours worked but minus lunch time each day. To finish this job, I can introduce some formulas for you.

The following formulas can help you to calculate worked time a day based on the time records.

1. Enter this formula: =SUM((C2-B2)+(E2-D2))*24 into a blank cell beside your time record cells, F2, for instance, see screenshot:

Note: In the above formula: C2 is the lunch start time, B2 is the log in time, E2 indicates the log out time and D2 is the lunch end time. You can change the references based on your need.

2. Then drag the fill handle down to the cells that you want to apply this formula, and all the total hours worked excluding the lunch time are calculated at once. See screenshot:

Tips: If there are log in, log out time record and fixed lunch time, (such as one hour and thirty minutes), you can apply this simple formula: =D2-B2-C2 to calculate the worked hours a day. See screenshot:

hi, dont know if you'll be able to help me but for my payroll i pay employees by the hours of actual service not by the time they arrive/ leave. i have three categories 1 hr service, 1.5 hr service and 2 hr service. for each category i pay a different amount. i managed to put this data on excell but its counts how many times they completed each service. like 3x the 1 hr and 1x the 1.5 hr on one day or so on. but i also need it to calculate the total hrs they worked. currently it doesnt count the 0.5. any ideas? thanksss!!!

Hi there,
I have Cell G9 as Start Time (09:00:00) then F9 as Finish Time (18:00:00) and have a formula for working out the time worked (=IF(F9<E9,F9+1,F9)-E9) but would like to add a formula to calculate If time worked is more that 6 hours, to deduct 00:30:00 minutes for a break and calculate the new time.
Please advise what best formula to use for this?

Hello,
To solve your problem, please apply the below formula:

=B2-A2-TIME(0,INT((B2-A2)/TIME(6,0,0))*30,0)

B2 is the End time, and A2 is the Start time.
Please try, hope it can help you!

Ciao, sto cercano una formula o una macro che mi permetta di calcolare le ore di presenza partendo dalle timbrature ma allineate all'orario di lavoro standard.
Per esempio se ho l'orario di lavoro dalle 8:30 alle 12:15 con pausa pranzo e ripresa alle 13.15 fino alle 17:30 (8 ore di lavoro) ma le timbrature sono ad esempio:
Timbratura di Ingresso ore 8:10 con timbratura uscita pausa alle 12:16. timbratura di ingresso dopo la pausa alle 12:50 timbratura di uscita 17:35.

Sicuramente tu potrai aiutarmi. Grazie in anticipo

Thanks for the info on this website and for your help!!
I've followed the thread and have made my excelsheet. I use this formula =SUM((C5-B5)+(E5-D5)) to calculate the total working hours per day. I don't get the right info if I use =SUM((C5-B5)+(E5-D5))*24 as has been suggested in this thread. I'm using "Time format' instead of general. Even if I choose general I still get an odd number when I type in 8:00AM start and finish 5:30 PM.

Now I want to have the monthly working hours so I use =SUM(L5:L35), but instead of getting the total hours and minutes I get hours/minutes that aren't correct. For example if the total amount is supposed to be 150 hours and 32minutes I get a whole different number.

Note: I have the format in hh:mm

I hope you could help me out.

Hi, NG,
I'm sorry for that this formula can't help you, You'd better to upload your Excel file here if you don't mind, so that we can check where the problem is?
Thank you!

Začátek pracovní doby i konec se vždy liší, jak prosím automaticky odečíst 30 minut bez zadávání začátku a konce přestávky?

Děkuji
