Time card calculator with lunch breaks

Enter the break as its own interval

1. Add the shift’s start and end dates and times.
2. Add the lunch start and end, including its date if the shift crosses midnight.
3. Choose Paid or Unpaid for that interval.
4. Add other breaks separately and review the resulting counted hours.

Paid and unpaid are different inputs

An unpaid break reduces the counted duration. A paid break remains included in the shift span. Paid time is not an extra amount added on top of that span. Use the label that matches the record you are preparing; MinuteFolio does not decide whether a particular break must legally be paid.

Several breaks need several checks

Breaks should lie inside the shift and must not overlap. For example, 12:00–12:30 and 12:20–12:45 overlap for ten minutes. Subtracting both complete intervals would deduct those minutes twice. The editor keeps the intervals visible and asks you to edit or remove one deliberately; it does not silently merge the records.

A useful export preserves the distinction

Review the unpaid total separately from paid break time. In the Studio week sample, unpaid breaks total 02:30 and are deducted, while 00:15 of paid break time remains included in 38:15. JSON retains the full editable record; CSV and PDF serve different data and reading needs.
