I am glad to read, that you have similar application.

I just wondered if you have to separate those hours somehow by time? For
example I have to show how many of those hours was between 6-18 (daily
fee), 18-22 (evening fee), 22-6 (nightly fee). Result would be something
like this

16.09.2004 16:00-24:00 (total 8 hours; daily 2 hours(16-18); evening 4 hours(18-22), nightly 2 hours(22-24)).

How to best calculate this in SQL?
