Turn clock times into decimal hours for a timesheet

The job

Timesheet and payroll systems count time in decimal hours, not minutes — 7.75, not 7:45. Working it out by hand means dividing minutes by 60 every day; the converter does both directions, so a decimal figure on a payslip can also be checked back against clock time.

How to do it

Leave the direction on "clock time → decimal", type the duration as h:mm (or h:mm:ss if you track seconds), and convert. The result shows decimal hours plus total minutes. Flip the direction to turn a decimal — or a total in minutes — back into h:mm.

• Minutes ÷ 60 gives the decimal fraction: 15 → .25, 30 → .5, 45 → .75.
• Decimal → clock shows both nearest-minute h:mm and exact h:mm:ss.
• Values like "90:30" mean 90 hours 30 minutes — useful for monthly totals, not a typo.

Worked example

A week of shifts reads 7:45 + 8:00 + 7:30 + 8:15 + 6:30. Add them with the duration calculator to 38:00, then convert here: 38.0 decimal hours exactly — the number the payroll form wants.

Limits

Input tops out at 100,000 hours and rejects negatives — it is a converter, not a clock-in/clock-out differencer (use Time duration for that). The h:mm column rounds to the nearest minute; the exact h:mm:ss line is shown alongside when the rounding matters.
