This calculator determines the exact duration between two times, perfect for tracking work hours, calculating meeting lengths, logging study time, or measuring any timed activity throughout the day.
The tool provides results in both standard format (hours and minutes) and decimal hours, which is especially useful for timesheets, billing, or systems that require decimal time entry.
If the end time is earlier than the start time, the calculator assumes the end time is on the following day, making it useful for overnight shifts or activities that span midnight.
