Understanding Hours and Minutes
Hours and minutes are both units used to measure time. One hour is defined as exactly 60 minutes, so converting between the two is a simple multiplication or division. This makes it easy to calculate time spans such as work shifts, travel durations, study sessions, or cooking times.
To convert hours to minutes, multiply the number of hours by 60. For example, 1.75 hours × 60 = 105 minutes. To go the other way — from minutes back to hours — divide by 60. For example, 150 minutes ÷ 60 = 2.5 hours.
This calculator performs both conversions instantly. Enter a value in either box, use the swap button if needed, and see the result automatically updated with clean, readable rounding.
