This owner compares local clock times only; it does not know dates or time zones. Use the date/time or time-zone calculator when those affect elapsed duration.
Equal start and end times mean zero duration in this calculator, not a 24-hour meeting.

How to use this calculator
Find elapsed time between two local clock times, including overnight meetings when the end clock is earlier than the start. The result includes hours/minutes, total minutes and decimal hours with the rollover rule shown explicitly.
Step-by-step
- Step 1
Enter the local start clock.
- Step 2
Enter the local end clock.
- Step 3
Review elapsed hours/minutes, total minutes and whether the end was treated as the following day.
How the result is calculated
Elapsed minutes = end clock − start clock; if end < start, add 24 hours.

Common questions
What if the end time is earlier than the start?
The calculator treats the end as occurring on the following day and adds the time remaining to midnight.
What if start and end are identical?
This owner returns zero duration, not 24 hours.
Does this account for dates or time zones?
No. It compares local clock times only. Use the date/time or time-zone calculators when dates, DST or zones affect elapsed time.
