Calculate hours between two times

Enter a start time and an end time above to get the duration between them in hours and minutes, plus the total in minutes and decimal hours. If the end time is earlier than the start, the tool assumes the span crosses midnight, which makes it ideal for working out shift lengths and overnight hours. It all runs in your browser.

Decimal hours for timesheets

The decimal hours figure is handy for timesheets and payroll, where 90 minutes is shown as 1.5 hours.

Frequently asked questions

Does it handle overnight times?

Yes. If the end time is before the start time, it assumes the period runs past midnight and adds the extra hours.

What are decimal hours?

Decimal hours express minutes as a fraction of an hour, so 30 minutes is 0.5 and 90 minutes is 1.5 hours.
