Decimal Hours to Minutes Converter

The formula is: minutes = decimal hours × 60.

Worked example: 1.75 decimal hours is 105 minutes.

To go the other way, use the Minutes to Decimal Hours Converter, which divides by 60 instead of multiplying.

Keep the whole number as the hours, then multiply only the decimal part by 60 to get the minutes. For 7.8 hours, the 7 stays as 7 hours and 0.8 × 60 = 48 minutes, so 7.8 hours is 7 hours 48 minutes.

If the minutes come out with a fraction, multiply that remainder by 60 again to get seconds. For example, 2.555 hours is 2 hours and 33.3 minutes, which is 2 hours 33 minutes 18 seconds.

In clock notation the same values are written as hours:minutes, so 7.8 hours is 7:48 and 8.75 hours is 8:45.

Converting Decimal Hours in Excel or Google Sheets

If the decimal hours value is in cell A1, the formula =A1*60 returns total minutes. To show it as clock time instead, use =A1/24 and format the cell as a time (for example [h]:mm), since spreadsheets store time as a fraction of a day.

Common values in decimal hours and their equivalents in minutes:

Payroll and timesheet software record work time in decimal hours because a decimal multiplies cleanly by an hourly rate: 8.25 hours at $20 an hour is $165.00, while 8 hours 15 minutes needs converting first. State labor departments publish the same conversion as a chart, for example the North Carolina Department of Labor minutes to decimal hours chart. Employees and freelancers convert back to minutes to check a paycheck or a billed invoice, such as a client report showing 3.4 hours, which means 3 hours 24 minutes.

To find the time between two clock times, use the Time Difference Calculator. To total a week of clock-in and clock-out times, use the Time Card Calculator.
