Using the minutes to hours converter
Enter a number of minutes in the first box. The converter fills in three answers: the time as decimal hours (rounded to two places), and the same time split into whole hours and minutes. You can type decimals, such as 37.5 minutes, and the answers update as you type.
Decimal hours are the form payroll and billing systems expect. Hours and minutes are the form people say out loud. Showing both saves a second conversion.
How to convert minutes to hours
There are 60 minutes in an hour, so divide the number of minutes by 60.
hours = minutes ÷ 60
Example 1. 90 minutes ÷ 60 = 1.5 hours. Example 2. 45 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.75 hours. Example 3. 200 minutes ÷ 60 = 3.3333, shown as 3.33 hours.
Check using a ratio
The rule follows from the fact that 60 minutes correspond to 1 hour. If 135 minutes correspond to h hours, then 60 ÷ 1 = 135 ÷ h, which rearranges to h = 135 × 1 ÷ 60 = 2.25 hours.
Converting minutes to hours and minutes
Divide by 60 and keep the whole number as the hours. The remainder is the minutes. This is the form to use when you want to write "3 h 20 min" rather than 3.33.
hours = floor(minutes ÷ 60), minutes left = minutes − hours × 60
Example. 200 minutes: 200 ÷ 60 = 3 remainder 20, so 3 hours 20 minutes. Likewise 500 minutes is 8 hours 20 minutes (8.33 decimal hours), and 1,000 minutes is 16 hours 40 minutes.
Conversion examples
- An 8 hour working day is 480 minutes. In reverse, 480 ÷ 60 = 8 hours.
- A film that runs 135 minutes lasts 2 hours 15 minutes, or 2.25 hours.
- A 25 minute commute each way is 50 minutes a day, which is 0.83 hours.
- A full day, 1,440 minutes, is 24 hours exactly.
When you need to total many shifts or breaks, add the minutes first and convert once, which avoids the rounding that builds up if you convert each entry separately. The time card calculator does this for a whole week.
