Once you input these times, simply click the Calculate button. The tool automatically computes the difference between your clock-in and clock-out times, including cases where your work spans past midnight. Your total worked hours will appear instantly on the screen.

If you need to clear your inputs or start over, the Reset button allows you to refresh the calculator without reloading the page manually.
