Below is a minutes calculator. Enter a start and end time and we'll instantly show you the minutes between them - plus hours and seconds.
Minutes calculator between two times
Using the minutes calculator
This calculator gives you multiple ways to measure time between two times:
- Same Day / Multiple Days: Toggle between simple same-day calculations or span across multiple days with date pickers.
- Now Button: Click Now to instantly set either time to the current time.
- Auto-Calculate: Results update instantly as you change inputs (saved you a click!).
The main result shows total minutes. The secondary line breaks it down into hours and minutes, plus total seconds.
Is noon in the AM or PM? What about midnight?
By tradition, 12:00 PM is noon and 12:00 AM is midnight.
What if the time-span crosses midnight?
In Same Day mode, if the start time is later than the end time, the tool assumes the timeframe passed midnight and calculates accordingly.
Minutes between two times
This tool along with the hours calculator are useful to compute the length of a shift. The minutes calculator is useful if you are paid in fractions of an hour, for example in 15 or 30 minute increments.
It's also very useful when exploring time with children. Instead of casually saying "just five more minutes", you can use the tool to show the relationship between two times.
I hope you enjoy the minute duration tool and you find it useful for most of your minute math. In a hot minute, maybe you'll want to try our minutes between dates, future minute, or past minute calculators, perhaps? Enjoy!
