45 Minute Lunch Break Formula
Total Minutes = End Time - Start Time
Work Minutes = Total Minutes - 45Lunch Start = Start Time + (Total Minutes ÷ 2 - 22.5)
Lunch End = Lunch Start + 45Parameters:
- Total Minutes: Time between start and end
- 45: Standard lunch break duration
- 22.5: Half of lunch break duration
For 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM: Total time = 480 minutes, work time = 435 minutes (7 hours 15 minutes), lunch break = 12:07 PM to 12:52 PM.
How to Calculate 45 Minute Lunch Break?
To calculate work hours with a 45-minute lunch break, subtract 45 minutes from the total time between start and end times. For optimal lunch timing, place the break at the workday’s midpoint.
In a 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM shift, lunch break would be from 11:37 AM to 12:22 PM.
For 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM: Work time = 7 hours 45 minutes, lunch 12:07 PM – 12:52 PM.
A 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM: Work time = 7 hours 45 minutes, lunch 10:37 AM – 11:22 AM.
For 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM: Work time = 8 hours 15 minutes, lunch 1:07 PM – 1:52 PM.
What is 45 Minute Lunch Break?
Work Duration: A 45-minute lunch break is a standard meal period during the workday that allows employees sufficient time for meals and rest. The break is typically placed near the middle of the work shift to divide the day into balanced segments.
Break Calculation: When calculating work hours, the 45-minute break is deducted from the total time at work. For example, in a 9-hour day (9:00 AM to 6:00 PM), the actual paid work time is 8 hours and 15 minutes after deducting the lunch break.
