Frequently asked questions

How do I calculate the hours between two dates?

Enter both dates and times; the result gives the total hours (and minutes, days and weeks) as well as days, hours and minutes.

How many hours are there between 9 am and 5:30 pm?

8 hours 30 minutes, or 8.5 hours.

Does it handle daylight saving time?
