Time Duration Calculator
Calculate time differences
How This Time Duration Calculator Works
Our free Time Duration Calculator finds the exact difference between any two times in hours, minutes, and seconds. It also displays total minutes, total seconds, and decimal hours - a format commonly used for timesheets, payroll, and billing. The "next day" option handles overnight time spans.
How Time Duration Is Calculated
Formula: Duration = End Time − Start Time
Decimal Hours: Total Minutes / 60
Example: Start time 9:15 AM, End time 5:45 PM = 8 hours, 30 minutes = 510 total minutes = 8.50 decimal hours.
