Overview

Add, subtract & convert time intervals

Time arithmetic frequently mixes units — hours, minutes, seconds — and bases (60 not 100). 1.75 hours is 1 hour 45 minutes, not 1 hour 75 minutes. Decimal time is what payroll and project tools use.

Useful for shift maths, project tracking, video editing, race timing and converting between time-zone offsets.

Formula

Conversions

decimal hrs = hrs + min/60 + sec/3600
sum         = align all to seconds, sum, convert back
Pro tips
  • Use 24-hour notation to avoid AM/PM bugs.
  • Time-zone calculations: convert to UTC first, then to target zone.
  • DST switches twice a year — check before scheduling.
