About the Time Calculator
This time calculator adds and subtracts durations in hours, minutes and seconds, carrying units correctly so 45 minutes plus 30 minutes gives 1 hour 15 minutes rather than 75. It totals timesheets, session lengths and project hours without manual carrying.
A time calculator exists because time is base 60 and calculators are base 10. Adding 2:45 and 1:30 in a normal calculator gives 4.75, which is not four hours and seventy-five minutes — it is 4:15. Doing it by hand across a timesheet is where errors creep in.
This handles the carrying for you across hours, minutes and seconds, for both addition and subtraction. Totalling a week of shifts, summing billable sessions, or working out how much of an allowance is left all become one entry per row.
Subtraction across boundaries works too, so a task that ran from 23:40 to 00:25 is correctly 45 minutes rather than a negative number. Everything is calculated in your browser.
