Free Minutes to Hours Converter
Convert minutes into hours and decimal hours, in both directions, with the free converter from TimeTac.
Use the converter to
- turn minutes into hours without doing the maths
- get decimal hours, the format payroll and spreadsheets expect
- work backwards, from a decimal value to hours and minutes
- check a timesheet entry before it goes into payroll
- add up project or support time recorded in seconds
One value in, every format out.
Fill in one row and read the rest. No carrying, no 60-minute mental arithmetic.
Convert in either direction.
Enter hours, minutes or seconds, and the remaining rows fill in automatically. The same works backwards, which is what you need when a report gives you decimals and your schedule needs clock time.
- 45 minutes is 0.75 hours
- 90 minutes is 1.5 hours
- 0.25 hours is 15 minutes
Get the format payroll expects.
Time written as 7:45 cannot be multiplied by an hourly rate. Written as 7.75 it can, which is why payroll systems and spreadsheets work in decimal hours.
- Multiply decimal hours by the hourly rate, with no conversion step
- Paste the values straight into a spreadsheet or payroll export
- Add several entries without carrying at 60
Where the converter stops.
The converter works with the numbers you type in. Where those numbers come from is a different question, and one a converter cannot answer.
- Converting a timesheet is manual work that repeats every month
- Handwritten hours are an estimate, not a working-time record
- TimeTac tracks time as it happens and reports it in decimal hours or clock time
Frequently asked questions.
How do you convert minutes to hours?
Divide the minutes by 60. 30 minutes is 0.5 hours, 45 minutes is 0.75 hours, 90 minutes is 1.5 hours.
What is the difference between minutes and decimal minutes?
Clock time counts to 60, decimal time counts to 100. That is why 7:45 and 7.75 describe the same amount of time in two different formats.
Why does payroll use decimal hours?
Because a decimal value can be multiplied by an hourly rate directly. In the hours and minutes format, every calculation has to account for the jump at 60.
How do you convert decimal hours back to minutes?
Multiply the decimal part by 60.
0.25 hours is 15 minutes, 0.4 hours is 24 minutes.
How do you convert a whole timesheet?
Convert each entry, then add the decimal values. It is faster the other way round for longer timesheets: add the hours and minutes first, then convert the total once.
