How to convert hours to minutes

Multiply the hours by 60, because there are 60 minutes in an hour.

minutes = hours × 60

For 2.5 hours: 2.5 × 60 = 150 minutes. For 8 hours it is 480 minutes, and for a whole day (24 hours) it is 1,440 minutes.

How to convert minutes to hours

Divide the minutes by 60: hours = minutes ÷ 60. For 90 minutes: 90 ÷ 60 = 1.5 hours. For 45 minutes it is 0.75 hours, and for 20 minutes 0.333333 hours.

Minutes to decimal hours (timesheets and pay)

Timesheets and pay often need hours as a decimal: divide the minutes by 60 and add them to the whole hours. So 1 hour 30 minutes is 1.5 hours, 1 hour 20 minutes is 1.333333 hours and 2 hours 45 minutes is 2.75 hours. The "Minutes to Decimal Hours" table above lists the common minutes. To add or subtract lengths of time, use the Time Calculator.

Hours and minutes

You can type a time as 1 hr 30 min, 1h 30m or 1:30, and choose "Hours and minutes" in either list to see an answer that way: 1.5 hours shows as 1 hr 30 min. The same works for minutes and seconds (2 min 15 sec) and for days and hours (2 d 6 hr).

Seconds, minutes and hours

There are 60 seconds in a minute, 3,600 seconds in an hour and 86,400 seconds in a day. A second is 1,000 milliseconds, and a millisecond is 1,000 microseconds.

Days, weeks and years

A week is 7 days, which is 168 hours or 10,080 minutes. A normal year has 365 days and a leap year has 366. The converter uses the average Gregorian year of 365.2425 days, which is 8,765.82 hours or 52.1775 weeks.

Why months and years are not fixed lengths

Real months are 28 to 31 days long, so the converter uses an average month: a twelfth of the average year, which is 30.436875 days or 730.485 hours. A decade is 10 years (3,652.425 days) and a century is 100 years (36,524.25 days).

Time zones and dates

This converter changes the length of a time, not a clock time. To change the time on a clock between places, such as EST to PST, use the Time Zone Converter. To count the days between two dates, use the Date Calculator.
