About

Work Hours Minutes Calculator

Features
Read full description

Hours & Minutes Calculator is a time calculator that shows every answer two ways at once — 7h 10m (7.17 h) — so you can verify the math at a glance. Type a duration like 2h 35m + 3h 45m + 50m and the result appears live, in hours-and-minutes and decimal hours together. THE FULL CALCULATOR IS FREE All the math works free, with zero ads and no account: - Add, subtract, multiply and divide HH:MM:SS durations — 2h − 30m = 1h 30m, 1h 30m × 4 = 6h, 2h ÷ 30m = 4 - Elapsed time between two clock times — overnight spans wrap automatically: 10:30 PM → 6:15 AM = 7h 45m - Break deduction, shown honestly even when the break is longer than the span - HH:MM ↔ decimal hours converter with quarter chips — 7:30 = 7h 30m = 7.5 h, payroll ready - History of your calculations, kept only on this device — tap a row to replay it, swipe to delete - Copy any result as 7h 10m (7.17 h) - 12/24-hour clock, your currency symbol, dark mode MADE FOR TIMESHEET MATH Check your paycheck before someone else does: end time − start time − break, in decimal hours you can line up with your pay stub. Negative results are shown, never clamped away, and a mistake like dividing by zero gets a clear error message instead of a wrong number. HOURS PRO — $3.99 ONE-TIME. FOREVER. One small unlock adds the record-keeping extras: - Unlimited named week sheets — build a week from your history and watch the week total (38h 45m · 38.75 h) - Export CSV — hand the week to payroll - Pay estimates — enter your hourly rate and see what your time is worth, with the exact hours basis shown The math is never gated: sheets, CSV export and the money view are the only Pro features. Pay once and they are yours — no recurring charges, ever. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Works offline. No account, no sign-in, no ads, no tracking — your history and settings stay on your device.
