Time Calculator (Add & Subtract Hours and Minutes)

Add and subtract hours and minutes to total your work or study time, find the duration between two times (overnight shifts included), and add hours to a clock time. Free, in your browser.

Add up work or study sessions in one go. Switch a row to minus (−) to subtract it.

Total: 15h 15m
Decimal hours15.25 h
Total minutes915
Decimal ↔ hours & minutes

= 1h 45m (105 min)

Hours & minutes → decimal

= 2.333 h

Three calculators in one

  • Add / subtract: total several entries such as 8h 30m + 7h 45m − 1h. Each row can be plus or minus, and seconds are optional. Handy for weekly timesheets or study logs.
  • Between two times: enter a start and end time to get the elapsed time. If the end is earlier than the start, it is treated as crossing midnight, so night shifts just work. Enter a break in minutes to deduct it.
  • Time + duration: add or subtract hours and minutes from a clock time — 22:30 plus 3h 45m is 02:15 the next day — with the day change shown.

Decimal hours vs hours and minutes

Payroll and timesheets often use decimal hours. Divide minutes by 60.

Hours & minutes Decimal hours
15 min 0.25 h
30 min 0.5 h
45 min 0.75 h
1 h 45 min 1.75 h
7 h 30 min 7.5 h
8 h 20 min about 8.33 h

A common mistake is writing 1 h 20 min as 1.2 h — use the converter at the bottom to check.

Tips

Multiply your total by an hourly rate for a rough pay estimate; for Korean minimum wage and weekly holiday pay (주휴수당), see the Hourly Wage Calculator. For counting days (D-day, days between dates) use the Date Calculator. This tool only does time arithmetic — what counts as paid working time depends on your contract and local rules.
