How to Convert Minutes to Hours

Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, divide the number of minutes by 60:

hours = minutes ÷ 60

Step 1: Divide to get decimal hours
90 ÷ 60 = 1.5 hours

Step 2: Convert to hours & minutes
Whole hours = 1
Remaining minutes = (1.5 − 1) × 60 = 30
= 1 hour 30 minutes (1:30)

Decimal Hours for Payroll & Timesheets

Many US employers require decimal hours on timesheets instead of hours:minutes. Here's how common clock times convert:

Clock Time Worked	Minutes	Decimal Hours
7:30 AM – 12:00 PM	270 min	4.50 hrs
8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (w/ 1hr lunch)	480 min	8.00 hrs
9:00 AM – 5:30 PM (w/ 30min lunch)	480 min	8.00 hrs
6:45 AM – 3:15 PM (w/ 30min lunch)	480 min	8.00 hrs
Part-time: 4h 15m	255 min	4.25 hrs
Overtime: 10h 45m	645 min	10.75 hrs

Quick trick: Divide the minutes past the hour by 60. So 7 hours 45 minutes = 7 + (45÷60) = 7.75 decimal hours.
