Formula
Each hour is 60 minutes:
Total minutes = hours × 60 + minutes
The hours calculator adds two durations and keeps hours and minutes. This page returns only minutes.
Assumptions
- Minutes are from 0 to 59.
- The result is a whole number of minutes.
Worked example
2 hours and 30 minutes is 150 minutes.
Input definitions
- Hours
- Whole hours to convert.
Limitations
This is a planning estimate for school or a calendar. It is not an official transcript, an attendance record, or a payroll ruling.
Questions
Can minutes be 60 or more?
No. Carry those into the hours field. The hours calculator does that carry when it adds two durations.
How do I turn minutes back into hours?
Divide by 60. The whole part is hours and the remainder is minutes.
