⏱️ Time Duration Calculator

How long between 9:30 AM and 5:45 PM — or between a 10 PM departure and a 6:30 AM arrival? Enter any start and end time on the 24-hour clock and get the exact duration, including overnight spans.

How to use the Time Duration Calculator

  1. Enter the start time (hour 0-23 and minute).
  2. Enter the end time the same way — if it falls after midnight, just type it as-is.
  3. Press Calculate — the duration in hours, minutes and decimal form appears below.
Example: From 9:30 AM to 5:45 PM is 8 hours, 15 minutes — 495 minutes, or 8.25 hours. And 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM correctly counts across midnight as 8 hours, 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How are overnight durations handled?

Whenever the end time is earlier than the start time, it is treated as falling on the next day — the standard assumption for shifts, flights and journeys.

Why show decimal hours?

Payroll, billing and timesheets often need hours as a decimal (8.25 instead of 8:15). Both forms are shown so you can use whichever your form demands.

What if start and end are identical?

Identical times mean a duration of zero — enter an end time earlier than the start if you mean a full day later.
