How to use this adding hours and minutes calculator
This calculator is specifically designed for timesheets and schedules where durations are listed as separate hour and minute values (e.g., "3 hours 45 minutes"). Instead of converting everything yourself, simply plug in the values.
How to add hours and minutes
Step-by-step functionality:
- Choose how many entries you need to sum.
- For each entry, type the hours in the first box and the minutes in the second box.
- The tool sums the total minutes, converts blocks of 60 minutes into hours, and displays the final result in a readable format.
Example
Time 1: 1 hr 45 min
Time 2: 2 hr 30 min
Minutes = 45 + 30 = 75 min = 1 hr 15 min.
Hours = 1 + 2 + 1 (from minutes) = 4 hours.
Total: 4 hours 15 minutes.
