8am to 4pm Is How Many Hours?
Hours and minutes between two clock times — overnight included — plus adding or subtracting hh:mm durations.
Result
An 8am to 4pm shift spans exactly 8 hours. This page opens the duration calculator with 08:00 and 16:00 preloaded — the early-start counterpart of the 9-to-5, common in manufacturing, construction, schools, and clinics.
Eight clock hours rarely mean eight paid hours: subtract a 30-minute lunch and the 8-to-4 day is 7.5 worked hours; subtract a full hour and it is 7. Enter your break in minutes and the calculator shows the net duration in hh:mm alongside decimal hours and total minutes.
Need a different shift? Change either time — the tool handles any pair of clock times, even spans that cross midnight, and a second mode adds or subtracts hh:mm durations directly.
