How this works and common questions
About this tool
This converter turns hours and minutes into decimal hours, or a decimal back into hours and minutes. You type every figure. Nothing is stored.
How it works
Hours and minutes become decimal hours when the minutes are divided by 60 and added to the hours. The other direction splits a decimal back into hours and minutes. The main figure is rounded half up to 2 decimal places.
Rules
Minutes must be from 0 to 59. A decimal uses at most 2 decimal places. This tool does not multiply by a pay rate and does not store what you type.
Questions
How do I turn 7 hours 45 minutes into decimal hours?
Divide the minutes by 60 and add the hours. 45 divided by 60 is 0.75, so 7 hours 45 minutes is 7.75 hours.
Why do timesheets use decimal hours?
One number is easier to multiply by a rate. 7.75 hours times your rate gives an amount without splitting minutes.
Should I round the decimal?
The main figure is rounded half up to 2 decimal places. A 4-decimal figure sits beside it. Check how you bill before you use either.
