How this is worked out

Minutes are divided by 60 and added to the hours, which is the format most timesheets and payroll systems expect.

Worked example

  • 7 hours
  • 30 minutes

30 ÷ 60 = 0.5, added to 7

7.5 decimal hours, or 450 minutes

Assumptions and limits

  • Minutes must be from 0 to 59. Entering 60 or more returns no answer rather than rolling over.
  • Decimal hours are rounded to two places, so odd minute values are shown to the nearest hundredth of an hour.
