Enter the number of hours worked and the total work hours in a day into the calculator to determine the half day leave hours. This calculator helps to calculate the remaining hours that can be considered as half day leave.

Half Day Leave Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the half day leave hours.

HDL = (TWH / 2) - HW

Variables:

  • HDL is the half day leave hours
  • TWH is the total work hours in a day
  • HW is the hours worked

To calculate the half day leave hours, divide the total work hours in a day by two and subtract the hours worked.

What is Half Day Leave?

Half day leave is a type of leave where an employee is permitted to be absent from work for half the duration of a regular workday. This is often used for personal matters, medical appointments, or other reasons where the employee does not require a full day off. The specific hours considered as half day leave can vary depending on the company’s policy and the standard work hours.

How to Calculate Half Day Leave?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Half Day Leave hours.


  1. First, determine the total work hours in a day (TWH).
  2. Next, determine the hours worked (HW).
  3. Use the formula HDL = (TWH / 2) – HW to calculate the half day leave hours.
  4. Finally, calculate the Half Day Leave (HDL) in hours.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Total work hours in a day (TWH) = 8 hours

Hours worked (HW) = 3 hours
