From 9:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the afternoon is exactly 8 hours. This page opens the duration calculator with 09:00 and 17:00 already filled in, so the classic 9-to-5 result is one click away — and you can adjust either time to match your real schedule.

The paid time usually differs from the clock time: with a 30-minute unpaid lunch a 9-to-5 day counts as 7.5 worked hours, and with a full one-hour break it drops to 7 hours. Type the break into the minutes field and the calculator deducts it before showing hh:mm, decimal hours, and total minutes.

The decimal figure matters for payroll: 7:30 on the clock is 7.5 hours on an invoice, not 7.3. Whatever break you set, this calculator converts the result for you — entirely in your browser.
