Minutes Between Times Calculator
The Minutes Between Times Calculator helps you measure the duration between two clock times in minutes. It is useful for calculating work intervals, meeting lengths, study sessions, travel durations, breaks and other everyday activities.
How the time difference is calculated
A 24-hour clock makes the calculation straightforward. Convert each time into minutes from midnight: multiply the hour by 60 and add the minutes. Subtract the starting value from the ending value to find the elapsed minutes. For an interval that crosses midnight, the ending time belongs to the following day.
Common examples
- 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM = 90 minutes.
- 1:15 PM to 2:00 PM = 45 minutes.
- 10:30 PM to 12:00 AM = 90 minutes, when the interval ends at midnight.
When can you use this calculator?
Use it to total time spent on tasks, check the length of appointments, calculate class or examination durations, plan exercise sessions, and estimate the time between scheduled activities. For longer intervals involving dates, use a date-and-time duration calculator.
