Time/Cost calculator?

cormie

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a decent time calculator with an integrated cost calculator too? If for example you charge customers based on time and would like a quick and accurate way to get the total bill, an app that could simply do:

10:00hr - 16:40hr minus 30 minutes break = (6.16 hours)x($12) = €73.92

Have tried a few time calculator apps now and none seem to offer the added functionality.

Any suggestions appreciated

that sum is wrong should be €56.67 ($73.92)

cant see why you need an application to do it.

can you not just use a calculator or do the sum using mental arithmetic?


is there a spreadsheet app? you could just input some formulas. ?

Sorry, having a brain lapse moment here but where did you get €56.67 from? How is the sum wrong? or are you just going by currency exchange rates or something?

Just easier to have an app to do the calculations, the sums I've used above are very simple and it could end up being a lot more complicated with no computer or anything at hand to do the maths.

I too would love to know where you got that answer from.

If you have access to an app you have access to a computer (bear in mind your smartphone is a computer).

I think doing something in Excel would be easiest way, if you need a hand with it give me a shout.

Thanks for the reply, found an app that might suffice, called time calculator

if I type 16hours 40 minutes - 10hours, then minus 30 minutes, that's 6hours 25minutes, if I click convert, that shows me it's 6.166 hours, then I just clear and multiply 6.166x12 to get 73.992 (I think the above sum of 73.92 was wrong so, as it was 73.992 )

I just wanted a quick way to calculate a price while somebody may be in a rush.

What way would you have suggested it using excel considering each figure, even charge, could be different each time?

I was being pedantic

10:00hr - 16:40hr minus 30 minutes break = (6.16 hours)x($12) = €73.92

when you convert $73.92 to euro you get €56.67 :D

Didn't even notice I used two different currencies in the OP

Something like toggl.com maybe? It's a web service. They do have an Android client but tbh, I find the mobile web interface works better.

Thanks for the suggestion, but this might only be used for a handful of calculations a week so I don't think it would warrant the sub charge
