Supports a same-day interval or one overnight crossing, less than 24 hours; equal clocks mean zero.
Time Duration Calculator validates start time, end time, end may fall on the next day before applying the displayed equation. Supports a same-day interval or one overnight crossing, less than 24 hours; equal clocks mean zero.
Time Duration Calculator: elapsed minutes = end − start + overnight adjustment; elapsed hours = minutes / 60. Input definitions: start = Start time; end = End time; overnight = End may fall on the next day. Use the selected convention throughout the calculation.
Time Duration Calculator baseline input: Start time: 10:15; End time: 12:00; End may fall on the next day: not selected. Output: Elapsed hours = 1.75 hours; Minutes = 105 minutes; Hours and minutes = 1 h 45 min. Substitute these values into the displayed equation to reproduce the result.

Understand the calculation
Compare clock positions rather than decimal-looking time strings. From 14:20 to 16:05 the elapsed interval is 105 minutes, equal to 1.75 hours. This tool measures elapsed time without subtracting breaks; use the hours calculator for net working time. Enable overnight only when an earlier end clock belongs to the following day.
elapsed minutes = end − start + overnight adjustment; elapsed hours = minutes / 60
The detailed guide adds variable definitions, a reproducible example, a practice question and model limitations.
