Calculating total salary with Libre Office Calc
I store my working time in Libre Office Calc like this:
Start End Hours
10:00 15:00 05:00
11:00 14:00 03:00
09:30 15:30 06:00
Total
14:00
Now I want to calculate my salary, i.e. multiply the total hours with for example 10 (salary per 1 hour).
When I try:
=G2*10 // (G2 is the cell with the total hours 14:00)
I get a total salary of 5,83 € (the cell is already formatted as currency). I don't know where this strange amount comes from.

What is the unformatted (or number formatted) value of G2? Dates/times can be handled a little goofy in spreadsheet programs.

If you view your 14:00 hours in their stored form, you will see 0,583333333333333; times are stored as fraction of a day and formatted to appear as common units. The number comes from division of 14 hours by 24 hours in a day; 14/24=0.58333. So if you multiply by 10 you get 5,83 €.
The answer is to change your formula to turn the fraction of a day into number of hours:
=G2*24*10
