Minutes Between Times

Find the elapsed minutes between two clock times. If an interval crosses midnight, you can mark the end time as the next day.

Worked examples

  • 09:00 to 17:30 is 510 minutes (8 hours 30 minutes).
  • 14:15 to 15:00 is 45 minutes.
  • 22:00 to 06:00 is 480 minutes when the end is on the next day.
  • 09:00 to 09:00 is 0 minutes same day, or 1440 minutes when next-day is opted in.
  • 00:00 to 23:59 is 1439 minutes.

Frequently asked questions

When does the next-day option appear?

It appears when the end time is earlier than the start time, or when the start and end times are equal and you want a 24-hour duration.

What is the default for cross-midnight times?

The next-day option is pre-selected so a typical overnight interval is calculated correctly out of the box.

What is the default for equal times?

Equal times default to the same-day reading (0 minutes). The next-day option is shown but unchecked, so you can opt into 1440 minutes (24 hours) explicitly.

What time format should I use?

Use the native 24-hour time control. For example, 13:30 means half past one in the afternoon.
