Typically 7:00 AM–3:00 PM or 8:00 AM–4:00 PM. Standard in offices, retail, manufacturing, and most business environments. Full daylight hours — most common shift type in the US.
Typically 3:00 PM–11:00 PM or 4:00 PM–12:00 AM. Common in hospitality, retail, manufacturing, and emergency services. Catches the evening rush in consumer-facing industries.

Common in healthcare, emergency services, and some manufacturing environments. Typical patterns are 7:00 AM–7:00 PM (day) and 7:00 PM–7:00 AM (night). Employees typically work 3–4 shifts per week rather than 5.
Two separate work periods in one day — for example 6:00–10:00 AM and 4:00–8:00 PM. Common in food service and transportation. Some states require split shift premium pay when the gap between periods exceeds one hour.
Once you know your paid hours, multiply by your hourly rate for gross shift pay. For weekly totals, add paid hours across all shifts worked that week.
| Shift type | Typical paid hrs | At $18/hr | At $22/hr | At $28/hr |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8-hr shift (30 min break) | 7.5 hrs | $135 | $165 | $210 |
| 8-hr shift (no break) | 8.0 hrs | $144 | $176 | $224 |
| 10-hr shift (30 min break) | 9.5 hrs | $171 | $209 | $266 |
| 12-hr shift (30 min break) | 11.5 hrs | $207 | $253 | $322 |
| 12-hr shift (1 hr break) | 11.0 hrs | $198 | $242 | $308 |
Enter your shift start time and total shift duration in hours. Add your unpaid break time in minutes. The calculator shows your exact shift end time and total paid hours.
Yes — if your shift crosses midnight, the end time correctly shows the following day. For example, a shift starting at 10:00 PM for 8 hours ends at 6:00 AM the next morning.
Shift length is the total time from clock-in to clock-out. Paid hours is shift length minus any unpaid break time. A 9-hour shift with a 30-minute unpaid lunch = 8.5 paid hours.
Most full-time shifts are 8 hours. Retail and hospitality commonly use 6, 8, and 10-hour shifts. Healthcare and manufacturing often use 12-hour shifts with longer breaks built in.
Federal law requires overtime pay (1.5x your regular rate) for hours over 40 in a workweek — not per shift. California also requires daily overtime for shifts over 8 hours. Use the Overtime Calculator to find your exact overtime pay.
A rotating shift schedule cycles employees through morning, afternoon, and overnight shifts on a regular pattern — weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly. This calculator helps you find end times for any shift in the rotation.
Add your paid hours from each shift across the week. If you work five 8-hour shifts with 30-minute unpaid lunches, your weekly total is 5 × 7.5 = 37.5 paid hours. Use the Working Hours Counter for multi-day calculations.
Yes — enter your start time, set duration to 12 hours, and add your break time. A 12-hour shift starting at 7:00 AM with a 30-minute break ends at 7:00 PM with 11.5 paid hours.
