The 8 Hour Calculator helps track time worked and calculates remaining time in a standard 8-hour work period. It's useful for employees, freelancers, and anyone needing to monitor their work hours.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator performs simple time calculations:

Where:

• 8 hours — Standard work period
• Hours Worked — Full hours already worked
• Minutes Worked — Additional minutes worked beyond full hours

Explanation: The calculator converts minutes to fractional hours, subtracts from 8 hours, then converts back to hours and minutes format.
