How to use this tool
Enter hours and minutes separately. Hours range from 0 to 10,000; minutes must be below 60. Split 90 minutes into one hour and 30 minutes.
Results and examples
The calculation is hours + minutes/60. One hour and 30 minutes gives 1.5 hours and 90 total minutes; it is not 1.30 hours. Keep that distinction when moving a duration into payroll software.
