Time calculator

Add hours and minutes across up to four entries and convert the total into decimal hours, which is the form timesheets and invoices usually ask for.

EV-T18

Add up hours and minutes.

Total up to four time entries — shifts, tasks, or laps — into one figure with payroll-ready decimal hours.

Formula and assumptions: All entries convert to minutes, add together, and convert back. Decimal hours divide total minutes by 60, so 5 h 5 min is 5.08, not 5.05. Unused entries stay at zero.

COMMON WAYS TO ASK

QUICK ANSWER

What this calculator tells you.

Enter up to four hour-and-minute pairs and get one total plus its decimal form. Everything converts to minutes internally, so 50-minute and 90-minute entries add correctly instead of like decimals.

Questions people ask next.

Why is 5 hours 5 minutes not 5.05 hours?

Minutes are sixtieths of an hour, not hundredths. Five minutes is 5 ÷ 60 = 0.083 of an hour, so the decimal total is 5.08.

Can I enter more than 59 minutes?

Yes. An entry like 0 h 90 min is valid and carries over automatically, which is useful when notes record long tasks in minutes only.
