How to use it

  2. The result appears straight away and updates as you edit.
  3. Copy the result, or copy a link that keeps the same values to share it.

How it is calculated

Seconds = hours × 3600 + minutes × 60 + seconds. A two-part value is read as minutes:seconds.

Example

Inputs: Duration (H:MM:SS or M:SS) = 1:02:05. Result: Total seconds: 3,725 s; Total minutes: 62.0833 min; Decimal hours: 1.0347 h.

Limits and caveats

  • A two-part value such as 12:30 means 12 minutes 30 seconds, not 12 hours.
  • Fractions of a second are not accepted.
