Unit Conversion calculators
To convert hours to minutes, multiply the number of hours by 60 (minutes = hours × 60). Hours to min, or hrs to min for short, is one of the most searched time conversions, and this calculator gives the same result a timesheet, spreadsheet, or textbook calculation would.
An hour is exactly 60 minutes, so the conversion is exact for any value, whole or decimal. A decimal like 2.5 hours means two and a half hours, which is 150 minutes, not 2 hours 50 minutes.
Enter any hours value above and the minutes equivalent updates instantly. For example, 8 hours converts to 480 minutes.
This page focuses specifically on hours to minutes conversions. See the related converters below for the reverse direction and other time unit pairs.
