About the Hours Calculator
This free hours calculator helps you determine how many hours and minutes are between two times, add or subtract hours from a starting time, and total multiple time card entries. It is commonly used for tracking work hours, calculating payroll, managing project time, and converting between hours-minutes and decimal hours.
Decimal Hours for Payroll
Many payroll and billing systems require time in decimal format. To convert manually, divide the minutes by 60 and add them to the hours. For example, 8 hours and 45 minutes = 8 + (45/60) = 8.75 decimal hours. This calculator handles the conversion automatically.
Overtime and Time Tracking
To calculate weekly overtime, use the Time Card tab to enter all your shifts for the week. The total will show your combined hours. In the US, overtime typically begins after 40 hours per week. Some states and industries have daily overtime rules (typically after 8 or 12 hours in a single day).
