Time Unit Converter

Convert an amount of time into the other common units. Type a value in hours or in minutes, and every other unit updates at once.

How it works

Every unit is first turned into seconds. Minutes are seconds divided by 60, hours are seconds divided by 3600, days divide by 86400, and weeks divide by 604800.

Decimal hours are useful for pay and timesheets. Thirty minutes is 0.5 decimal hours, which is the same as half an hour.

Worked example

2.5 h is 9,000 seconds, or 150 minutes. As decimal hours it is 2.5, which is 0.015 of a week.

Questions

What is a decimal hour?

It is an hour written as a decimal, so 30 minutes is 0.5 hours. Payroll and timesheets often use this form.

Why does a week show as a decimal?

Most amounts of time are only part of a week. The number shows how much of a week the time covers.

Are months and years included?

No. A month or a year has no fixed length, so this page stops at weeks.
