Hours Calculator

Work out time differences, shift lengths and totals in hours and decimal hours.

If the end time is earlier than the start time, it is counted as the next day (night shift).

Three ways to calculate time

  • Time between – the hours and minutes from a start time to an end time, minus a break. Night shifts that cross midnight are handled automatically.
  • Add / subtract – find the clock time a given number of hours, minutes and seconds after or before another time, including the day change.
  • Add up durations – total a list of times, such as training sessions in a week or the segments of a race.

Decimal hours for timesheets

Payroll and invoicing often need decimal hours: 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours. Every result is shown both as hours and minutes and as a decimal value, so you can copy it straight into a timesheet.

To count whole days instead of hours, use the date calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate a night shift?

Enter the start time (for example 22:00) and the end time (06:00). Because the end is earlier than the start, it is treated as the next day and the result is 8 hours before breaks.

How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?

Divide the minutes by 60. 15 minutes = 0.25 h, 30 minutes = 0.5 h, 45 minutes = 0.75 h. The calculator does this for you.
