Paid Bathroom Break Calculator (how much you earn on the toilet at work)

How it works

Hourly pay = annual pay ÷ paid hours per year. Money “earned” during breaks = hourly pay × break minutes ÷ 60 × workdays per year. Workdays exclude public holidays and paid leave, because you take no work breaks on those days. Just for fun: short breaks are a normal part of a working day and usually help concentration.

FAQ

Is this real money?

It is your normal pay viewed from a different angle: the minutes are part of your paid working time, so the figure shows how much of your salary those minutes represent.

How much time do people really spend on breaks?

It varies a lot by person and job. Enter your own estimate rather than an average.
