Multiply hours by 60 to get minutes. Decimal hours from timesheets (1.75 h) are easier to read as minutes (105 min).
How to use the Hours to Minutes Converter
- Type the number of hours into the Hours field. Decimals such as 0.75 are fine.
- Read the answer in Minutes. It updates as you type, with no button to press. The same amount is also shown in s, day.
- To go from minutes back to hours, type into the Minutes field instead. Every field also has a unit menu with all 14 time units, for example s, ms, µs, ns, day, week, fortnight, month, year, decade.
Results update as you type, and everything is calculated in your browser.
How it works
Both units measure time, so they are always in the same ratio: one hour equals 60 minutes. The calculator multiplies the number of hours you type by 60 to give minutes, and when you type into the minutes field it divides by the same factor to give hours. Because the ratio never changes, doubling the hours always doubles the minutes, for example 3 h is 180 min.
How to convert hours to minutes
- Write down the value in hours, for example 1.5 h.
- Multiply by the conversion factor 60 (because 1 hour = 60 min).
- 1.5 × 60 = 90 min.
- To go back from minutes to hours, divide by 60, or multiply by 0.016666667.
