Convert Hours & Minutes in Excel to decimals for billable hours by Chris Menard

  • Time in Excel is tricky when you try to covert time to decimals. Example: 2:00 is two hours and zero minutes. Multiple 2:00 by $20 and you get 1.67 as a decimal. Two hours x 20 should be $40 billable amount. The trick is to multiply the hours and minutes by 24.
    There are 24 hours in a day. Midnight in Excel is 0. 12 Noon or 12 PM in Excel is 0.5

    Hey Chris, thanks for the demo. I find your explanation very valuable. I used the idea to calculate my self-study hours. I changed the rate to 1, so the hours converted to decimals. Once decimals were available, I was able to create a cumulative column plus a chart. It serves for me for crafting a look back on the hours that I dedicate to study in relation to my grades. Once again, thanks!

    Hey Chris trying to do hours worked from (pm to am) AND (am to pm) because of multiple shifts with clock in/out input in am/pm with results in military time. Time clocked in and out are separated by midnight and calculated on separate days ( Example shift clock in Mon 10:55pm, clock out 2:00am Tues. Clock shows 1 hr 5 mins on Mon and 2 hrs on Tues but in military time. Also including surge rates combining 2 different days(Mon and Fri) with both am and pm times, on top of the rest of the week at normal hourly rate. Need to have final weekly calculations in both am/pm and military. Please help

    This is great. And helpful, but is there a video about converting overnight hours and then having all of the hours convert to dollars.
    I have 20 tabs(each tab is a work order job) which is used for hourly tracking. Which all formulate to a master invoice sheet giving grand totals. Once they add overnight hours it goes haywire on the master sheet and the numbers just don’t add up.
    Looking for help

    you are explaining the calculations excel uses. to 99.9% of the population, this makes no sense. To the .1%, this answer is a life saver. Thank you. to make this more simple, you could have used a rate of 1, but i am solid on 8th grade math, so I understand.

    Could you tell me how to covert total hours to decimals in Microsoft Excel... for example, Column A = 1:00PM, Column B = 3:15PM... how can I have Column C (TOTAL HOURS) read "2.25"
    all times at my job are in 15 minute increments
    1:15PM to 2:00PM would be .75
    5:30PM to to 7:00PM would be 1.5
    any help is much appreciated !!!

      you can use hour, minute, and second function with the Value function. Make sure your format is General. See image here drive.google.com/file/d/1KTctDAMm7ee33dz2HnV-U9liPSGmvULs/view?usp=drivesdk
