How to convert
To decimal: hours + minutes / 60. 7 hours 45 minutes = 7 + 0.75 = 7.75. Back to minutes: the part after the point x 60. 7.4 hours = 7 hours + 0.4 x 60 = 7 hours 24 minutes. A common mistake is reading 7.30 as 7 hours 30 minutes; 7.30 hours is 7 hours 18 minutes. For whole durations in minutes, use hours to minutes.
Once you have decimal hours, multiply by your rate, or let the hourly rate and wage calculator do it. Payroll that rounds punches first? See the time clock rounding chart.
