Question# 6: How do you calculate your hourly rate?

If you want to calculate your Hourly Rate, you need to determine your pay frequency; it is how often you are paid, whether it's weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, or annually.

In the steps below, we are going to tell you the procedure to calculate the hourly rate from your weekly pay. You can use the same method to calculate through other pay frequencies as these calculations are based on Total Hours Worked. Here are the steps you need to follow:

  1. To calculate your hourly rate, you need to figure out how many hours you have worked in a week. If you don’t know your total worked hours in a week, I suggest you to read an answer to FAQs Question # 4 above.
  2. After figuring out your total hours worked in a week, you need to divide your weekly salary from total hours worked in a week. 
  • Basic Formula is Total Salary / Paid Hours, which you can use for any Pay Frequency.
Example:
  • your total hours worked in a week are 48 hours and 50 minutes with your weekly salary of $100. Then your hourly rate is 100/48.83 OR $2.05 per hour.

 

Are you wondering why we have written 48 Hours and 50 Minutes as 48.83 in the worked example above?

It is because to divide salary from time, all values of time must be in the same form for which you need to convert minutes into decimal hours, and doing so is not that difficult. You need to divide your minutes from 60 to get decimal hours. So for the example above, we divided 50 by 60 to get 0.83 Hours.

 

You can also refer to the table below for quick Minutes to Decimal Hours Conversion:

Or you can also use our Hours to Decimal Converter for instant and error-free results.

Question# 7: How do I calculate my hours worked per month?

There are numerous methods to calculate worked Hours per Month from which we have mentioned the most accurate one below:

Method 1: Average Hours Method

The first method can be used to get AVERAGE hours worked per month by following these steps:

  1. Keep a record of Time In and Time Out of your work for ONE week, and follow the method stated in FAQs Question # 5, or you can also use our Time Card Calculator to calculate your Worked Hours in a Week.
  2. Once you have figured out your Worked Hours in a Week, simply divide it by 7 to get your Average Daily Worked Hours.
  3. Now multiply Average Daily Worked Hours by Number of Days in Month to get Average Hours Worked per Month.

 

Example:

If your Worked Hours in a Week are: 40.5 hours then: 

Average Daily Worked Hours: 40.5 / 7 = 5.7 Hours

Hours Worked per Month: 5.7*30 = 173.5 Hours

 

Method 2: Record and Calculate Exact Hours

If you want the exact value of Hours worked in a Month then you are suggested to follow the steps below:

  1. Make a Spreadsheet and Keep a record of your Time Inand Time Out of Work.

Note: If your Lunch Breaks are unpaid, then you shouldn’t include that time in your spreadsheet. Therefore, you will have More than one Time In and Time Outs in a Day.

  1. Now calculate your Total Hours Worked in a Week by using any ONE method below:
  1. Our Two Shift Calculator if you have Unpaid Lunch Breaks.
  2. OROur Time Card Calculator if you have Paid Lunch Breaks.
  3. ORYou can also use our Bi-Weekly timesheet Calculator if you want to calculate Total Hours Worked in Two Weeks.
  4. ORFollow the Method stated in FAQs Question # 5 above.
  1. Repeat Step # 2, for every week in a month to get four values of Total Hours Worked in a Week.
  2. As there are more days in a month than days in 4 weeks (28 Days), so you can still use calculators mentioned in Step # 2 to get Hours Worked in Remaining Days.
  3. Now Add All 4 Values of Total Hours Worked in a Week and a Value of Hours Worked in Remaining Days together using our Hour Calculator located at the beginning of the page to get Exact Value of Hours worked in a Month.

Question# 8 How do you calculate hours worked minus lunch?

Method 1: Don’t record lunch break time duration

To calculate hours worked minus lunch, you should not record Work Time during Lunch. Therefore, you will have more than One Time IN and Time OUT of work in a day.

Now use our Two Shift Calculator to calculate all your Total Hours Worked minus Lunch in a Week.

Method 2: Subtract your Fixed Lunch Break Time

If you have total hours worked, including lunch break, and you have a fixed Lunch Break time like 30 Minutes daily than you can subtract total your Total lunch break time from total hours worked.

Example:

Hours Worked in a Week (including Lunch Breaks): 40.5 Hours

Daily Lunch Break Time: 30 Minutes

Lunch Break Time of a Week (In Minutes): 30*7 = 210 Minutes.

Lunch Break Time of a Week (In Minutes): 210/60= 3.5 Hours

Total Hours Worked minus Lunch in a Week: 40.5-3.5= "37 Hours".
