What time can I leave work?

Find your clock-out time by adding required work hours and unpaid lunch to your start time, with decimal-hour and overnight guidance. Calculate it clearly with Figur.

Add work time and unpaid lunch to your start time

Leave time in minutes = start time in minutes after midnight + required work hours × 60 + unpaid lunch minutes. Lunch is added because it extends the time you must stay, unlike the work-hours tool which subtracts it from an elapsed shift. Enter 7.5 for 7 hours 30 minutes of work. The displayed clock wraps after midnight; it is not a dated calendar result.

Method and assumptions

Leave minutes = start minutes + 60 × required hours + unpaid lunch minutes. Display the resulting clock time modulo 1,440 minutes.

  • Required hours mean actual working time; lunch is treated entirely as unpaid time away from work.
  • The output is a clock time without a date. Track any next-day rollover yourself.
  • Employer rounding, paid-break rules, overtime eligibility and permission to leave are not determined.

Personal work and pay estimate, not an official timecard, payroll calculation or determination of employment rights. Your employer's policies and applicable rules control.

Worked example

Start at 08:04, work 8 hours and take 33 minutes of unpaid lunch.

484 + (8 × 60) + 33 = 997 minutes after midnight: 16:37, or 4:37 PM.

Frequently asked questions

Should I enter a paid lunch?

Do not add it as unpaid lunch if it already counts toward your required hours. This tool adds all entered lunch minutes to the workday.

What does 7.5 hours mean?

7 hours 30 minutes. Multiply the decimal fraction by 60; 0.5 × 60 = 30 minutes.

What happens after midnight?

The clock time wraps to the next day without showing a calendar date. For example, 22:00 plus 8 hours and 30 minutes is 06:30 the next day.
