How to Manually Convert Time to Decimal Format?

Although our decimal time converter is very accurate, knowing how to manually convert hours to the decimal format is still important. Here’s how to do it in just 3 steps.

1

Step 1

Divide the minutes by 60 to convert to a decimal.
For example, if you have a minute, 1/60 = 0.02
2

Step 2

Add the decimal minutes to the hours.
For example, if you have 7 hours, add 7 + 0.02 = 7.02
3

Step 3

The result we got in step 2 is the time in decimal format.

The number before the decimal point is the total hours, while the number after it is the decimalized minutes.

So an employee clocking in at 7:01 will be represented by 7.02 in military time.

How to Manually Convert Decimal to Hours?

Likewise, if you want to get back the time in hours: minutes format, then you can either refer to the table above or use these steps.

1

Step 1

Find out the hours.
For example, in 7.02, the number 7 represents 7 hours.
2

Step 2

Find out the decimal fraction.
Again, in 7.02, it’s 0.02.
3

Step 3

Multiply by 60 to convert the decimal time to minutes.
For example, 0.02 × 60 = 01 minute.
4

Step 4

Combine the two values we determined in the hours: minutes format.
In our example, it will be 7:01.

So an employee clocking in at 7.02 military time will be clocking in at 7:01 in normal time.
