Built for Australian WFH record keeping
This tool is designed for Australians who need a practical way to total work-from-home hours. It keeps the focus on the inputs that usually create errors: weekends, public holidays, leave, office attendance, and employment gaps.
Excludes weekends
Weekend dates are removed automatically so your WFH total starts from realistic working days.
Handles public holidays
Use the holiday toggle when you want the calculator to remove public holidays from the count.
Works across job changes
Add job periods to handle start dates, finish dates, and gaps between employers without doing the maths by hand.
Useful at tax time
It helps you total hours quickly so you can keep clearer supporting records during the year and at tax time.

Does it remove weekends and public holidays?
Yes. Weekends are excluded automatically, and public holidays can be excluded with the holiday toggle.
Can it handle job changes?
