How it works

The calculator compares the second time with the first time. If overnight mode is enabled and the second time is earlier, it adds 24 hours to treat the second time as the next day.

Examples

  • 07:45 to 12:15 → 4 hours 30 minutes
  • 23:30 to 01:00 with overnight mode → 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Swap times if you entered them in the wrong order
