11am to 7pm is how many hours?
11:00 AM to 7:00 PM is 8 hours (8.00 decimal hours). Take off any unpaid break to get the hours you are actually paid for.
The quick answer
11:00 to 19:00 = 480 minutes 480 ÷ 60 = 8.00 hours = 8h 00m Minus a 30-minute unpaid break = 7h 30m paid
11am to 7pm after an unpaid break
| Unpaid break | Hours worked | Decimal hours |
|---|---|---|
| None | 8h 00m | 8.00 |
| 15 minutes | 7h 45m | 7.75 |
| 30 minutes | 7h 30m | 7.50 |
| 45 minutes | 7h 15m | 7.25 |
| 60 minutes | 7h 00m | 7.00 |
Deduct a break only when it is unpaid, and only once — a common payroll error is subtracting a break that the clock system has already excluded.
Across a week
| Days a week | No break | With 30-min break |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 24h 00m | 22h 30m |
| 4 | 32h 00m | 30h 00m |
| 5 | 40h 00m | 37h 30m |
| 6 | 48h 00m | 45h 00m |
Weeks over 40 paid hours usually attract overtime. Split regular and overtime pay in the overtime pay calculator, or total a full timesheet in the time card calculator.
