Time Between Two Times
0h 0m
Calculate the time between two times, or add multiple time entries to get total hours worked.
The calculator converts both times to minutes since midnight (0-1440), then subtracts the start from the end. If the result is negative, it assumes the end time crosses into the next day and adds 1440 minutes (24 hours). For example, 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM = 1380 to 120 = -1260 + 1440 = 180 minutes = 3 hours.
Decimal hours are calculated by dividing total minutes by 60. This format (e.g., 1.50 instead of 1h 30m) is the standard for payroll systems, time-tracking software, and invoicing platforms.

Enter the start and end times in the calculator above, select AM or PM for each, and click Calculate. The tool subtracts the start time from the end time and displays the difference in hours and minutes, as well as decimal hours.
The calculator assumes the end time is on the following day and adds 24 hours to the difference. For example, 11 PM to 2 AM is calculated as 3 hours. A note will indicate that the time crosses midnight.
Decimal hours express time as a decimal number rather than hours and minutes. For example, 1 hour and 30 minutes = 1.50 decimal hours. This format is commonly used for payroll, invoicing, and time-tracking software.
Yes. Use the Add Multiple Time Entries section to log each work shift or time block. Click Add Entry for each one, and the running total appears at the bottom in hours:minutes format, decimal hours, and total minutes.
Enter your clock-in time as the start and your clock-out time as the end. If you took a lunch break, add two separate entries: one for morning hours and one for afternoon hours. The multi-entry tool will sum them up automatically.
