Minutes to Hours Calculator
Turn a number of minutes into hours and minutes, and into decimal hours for payroll. You can also convert hours and minutes back to total minutes.
How to convert minutes to hours
Divide the minutes by 60. The whole number is the hours, and the remainder is the minutes left over.
Example: 135 minutes ÷ 60 = 2 with 15 left over, so 135 minutes is 2 hours 15 minutes. In decimal hours that is 135 ÷ 60 = 2.25 hours.
To go the other way, multiply the hours by 60 and add the minutes: 3 hours 20 minutes = 3 × 60 + 20 = 200 minutes.
