Why is This Conversion Necessary?
This simple conversion is essential across many professional fields where time needs to be calculated, billed, or analyzed accurately.
Payroll & Billing
Timesheet systems often record time in hours and minutes (e.g., 7 hours 45 minutes), but for payroll calculations, this must be converted to a decimal (7.75 hours) to be multiplied by an hourly rate.
Project Management
When estimating project timelines, adding up several time blocks (e.g., 2h 30m + 4h 15m) is much easier by first converting them to decimals, performing the addition, and then converting back to a time format.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get quick answers to common questions about converting between decimal and time formats.
How is the conversion calculated?
The conversion is based on the fact that there are 60 minutes in an hour.
- Time to Decimal: The minutes are divided by 60 and added to the hours. Example: For 8 hours and 45 minutes, the calculation is
8 + (45 / 60) = 8.75. - Decimal to Time: The whole number is the hours. The decimal part is multiplied by 60 to find the minutes. Example: For 8.75, the hours are
8. The minutes are0.75 * 60 = 45.
Can this tool handle seconds?
This specific tool is optimized for converting between decimal hours and hours/minutes, which is the most common use case for payroll and project management. It does not currently include seconds for the sake of simplicity and speed. For calculations involving seconds, you would need a more granular time calculator.
