Deduct Time Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate Deducted Time (DT) is:

\[ DT = TH - (B + L) \]

Where:

\(DT\) is the deducted time (hours)
\(TH\) is the total hours worked (hours)
\(B\) is the break time (hours)
\(L\) is the lunch time (hours)

What is Deduct Time?

Deduct time refers to the amount of time subtracted from an employee’s total hours worked, typically for breaks or lunch periods. This is often used in payroll calculations to ensure that employees are only paid for the actual time they spent working, not for their rest periods. The specifics of when and how much time to deduct can vary depending on company policy and labor laws.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Hours Worked (TH) = 8 hours
Break Time (B) = 0.5 hours
Lunch Time (L) = 1 hour

Using the formula to calculate Deducted Time (DT):

\[ DT = 8 - (0.5 + 1) = 8 - 1.5 = 6.5 \text{ hours} \]

The Deducted Time is 6.5 hours.
