Worked Example: 5-Day Work Week Timesheet Calculation
Here is how a standard 5-day full-time work week is calculated after deducting daily 30-minute unpaid lunch breaks:
| Day | Start Time | End Time | Unpaid Lunch | Net Daily Hours |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monday | 8:30 AM | 5:00 PM | 30 mins | 8.00 hrs (8h 00m) |
| Tuesday | 8:30 AM | 5:00 PM | 30 mins | 8.00 hrs (8h 00m) |
| Wednesday | 8:30 AM | 5:30 PM | 30 mins | 8.50 hrs (8h 30m) |
| Thursday | 8:30 AM | 5:00 PM | 30 mins | 8.00 hrs (8h 00m) |
| Friday | 8:30 AM | 4:30 PM | 30 mins | 7.50 hrs (7h 30m) |
| Cumulative Weekly Total | 40.00 Decimal Hrs (40h 00m) | |||
Total break duration deducted: 150 minutes (2.5 hours). At a wage rate of $24.00/hour, gross weekly earnings equal $960.00.

Cumulative Timesheet Formula
Weekly Total Minutes = Σ (Daily Net Minutes)
Weekly Decimal Hours = Weekly Total Minutes ÷ 60
Because calculations maintain minute-level precision internally rather than repeatedly rounding daily subtotals, you avoid rounding discrepancies when entering numbers into payroll programs.
