Tips and common mistakes
Decimal hours and hours-and-minutes are easy to mix up on timesheets. 1.5 hours is one hour 30 minutes, not one hour 50 minutes, because there are 60 minutes in an hour and not 100. A quarter of an hour is 0.25 h, and 20 minutes is 0.333 h.
To convert minutes to decimal hours, divide by 60. To convert decimal hours to minutes, multiply by 60. This converter shows the result as both a decimal and hours-and-minutes when you convert to hours.
Months and years are not included because they vary in length. Use the Days between dates calculator for exact periods.
