Formula / Calculation Method

Duration = end minutes − start minutes; add 1,440 if the end is earlier.

Example Calculation

22:00 to 06:00 is 8 hours.

Understanding the Result

Times use a 24-hour clock. Equal start and end represent zero hours, not a full day.

How to Use

Enter start and end times using a 24-hour clock.

Select Calculate after entering your values. Text tools update as you type. Reset restores the starting fields.

Interpreting the Calculation

An end time earlier than the start means the interval crosses midnight once. The tool reports decimal hours and a whole-hours-plus-minutes breakdown.
