Decimal Hours to Hours and Minutes Converter
Convert decimal hours like 7.75 into hours and minutes (7h 45m) for timesheets, invoices and payroll.
How it works
minutes = round(decimal hours × 60) · hours = ⌊minutes ÷ 60⌋ · minutes shown = minutes mod 60
Payroll and time-tracking tools often store time as decimal hours, where 7.75 means seven and three-quarter hours. To read it as a clock duration you multiply by 60 to get total minutes, then split off whole hours. The rounding to the nearest minute is what people expect on a timesheet; the fractional part of an hour maps to minutes as 0.25 h = 15 min, 0.5 h = 30 min and 0.75 h = 45 min.
Worked example
7.75 decimal hours × 60 = 465 minutes. That is 7 whole hours (420 minutes) with 45 minutes left over, so 7h 45m.
