Adding up a timesheet
Convert each day to decimal hours first, then add them, then multiply by your rate. Adding times as if they were decimals goes wrong: 7:45 + 7:45 is 15 hours 30 minutes, which is 15.5 hours, not 14.90. To add up whole shifts with start and end times and breaks, the hours calculator does all of this in one go.
