Hours Calculator (Time Between Two Times)
Work out the hours and minutes between two times — overnight shifts, unpaid breaks and decimal hours for timesheets included.
How to use
- 1Enter the start and end time (24-hour or with AM/PM).
- 2Add any unpaid break; the total is shown in hours and minutes and as decimal hours.
How it's calculated
Duration = end − start − break. If the end is earlier than the start, the shift is treated as ending the next day.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert minutes to decimal hours?
Divide by 60: 7 hours 45 minutes = 7 + 45/60 = 7.75 hours. Payroll usually needs this decimal form.
What about a night shift from 10 PM to 6 AM?
Enter 22:00 and 06:00 — when the end is earlier than the start, it's counted as the next day, giving 8 hours.
Can I add up several durations?
Use the Time Duration Calculator for adding and subtracting lists of durations like 1:30 + 2:45.
