Minutes to Hours Calculator

Turn a number of minutes into whole hours and the minutes left over, or into decimal hours. This is useful for time sheets, cooking times and travel times.

How it works

Whole hours are the minutes divided by 60, rounded down. The minutes left over are what remains after those full hours are taken away.

Decimal hours are the minutes divided by 60 with the fraction kept, which is the form many pay and time sheets use.

Worked example

135 minutes is 2 whole hours and 15 minutes, or 2.25 hours as a decimal.

Questions

What if the number of minutes is more than a day?

Keep going. The hours can run past 24, so a full day of minutes shows as more than 24 hours.

Why does a decimal sometimes stop short?

Some minute counts do not divide evenly by 60. The decimal is then shown to two places.

Is there a quick way to do this by hand?

Count out sixties. Each full 60 minutes is one hour, and whatever is left over is the minutes.
