7am to 6pm is how many hours?
7:00 AM to 6:00 PM is 11 hours (11.00 decimal hours). Take off any unpaid break to get the hours you are actually paid for.
The quick answer
07:00 to 18:00 = 660 minutes 660 ÷ 60 = 11.00 hours = 11h 00m Minus a 30-minute unpaid break = 10h 30m paid
7am to 6pm after an unpaid break
| Unpaid break | Hours worked | Decimal hours |
|---|---|---|
| None | 11h 00m | 11.00 |
| 15 minutes | 10h 45m | 10.75 |
| 30 minutes | 10h 30m | 10.50 |
| 45 minutes | 10h 15m | 10.25 |
| 60 minutes | 10h 00m | 10.00 |
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 | 33h 00m | 31h 30m |
| 4 | 44h 00m | 42h 00m |
| 5 | 55h 00m | 52h 30m |
| 6 | 66h 00m | 63h 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.
