How do I set up a spread sheet that will add my hours work in h:mm

I want to create a spread sheet that will take the hours i worked in h:mm and
add them together to get how many hours total for the week then i want it to
multiply it by by my hourly rate??? Is this possibly?

Sure

set up your start and finish times in two columns (B2:C8) and in D2 enter

=C2-B2

and copy that down to D8. This gives you a daily total

In C9 enter Total and in D9 enter

=SUM(D2:D8)

format this cell via Format>Cells...>Number>Custom and enter [hh]:mm. This
gives you the total for the week

Now in C10 enter 'hourly rate' and in D10 enter the hourly rate value.

Now in C11 enter total pay and in D11 enter the formula

=(D9*24)*D10

I hope I got all this right. as I don't have Excel on this machine to test

It does not work for hours which go over midnight. It can be adapted, but
doen't in it's current form

fairly easy

set up a column for start time (A1 for example), stop time (B1 ), worked (C1)
pay(D1)

enter 8:30 for 8:30 am in A
enter 16:40 for 4:40pm in B
enter B2-A2 in C2 form the cells in this columns h:ss
then in D2, multiply C2 by your rate 10 (for $100/hr) * 24 to get the correct
rate , =C2*10*24 and format it as a number or currency
