From 7:00 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon is exactly 8 hours. This page opens the calculator with 07:00 and 15:00 already set — the classic early shift for hospitals, warehouses, bakeries, and first-shift factory rotations.

As with any 8-hour span, breaks decide the paid total: a 30-minute unpaid meal break makes the 7-to-3 day 7.5 worked hours, while two 15-minute paid breaks leave it at 8. Put the unpaid minutes into the break field and the net time appears in hh:mm, decimal hours, and minutes.

If your rotation starts even earlier or runs into the night, just edit the times — the calculator adds 24 hours automatically whenever the end time is earlier than the start, so overnight shifts compute correctly too.
