The Formula

To convert hours to minutes, multiply by 60. One hour is defined as exactly 60 minutes, making this an exact whole-number conversion:

minutes = hours × 60
hours = minutes ÷ 60

1 hr = 60 min = 3,600 sec. 24 hr = 1,440 min. 1 week = 10,080 min.

How to Convert Hours to Minutes

To convert hours to minutes, multiply by 60. One hour is exactly 60 minutes by definition. For example, 2.5 hours = 2.5 × 60 = 150 minutes. A standard 8-hour workday = 8 × 60 = 480 minutes. One full day (24 hours) = 24 × 60 = 1,440 minutes.

To go the other way (minutes to hours), divide by 60. For example, 90 minutes = 90 ÷ 60 = 1.5 hours. If you have a time in hours and minutes (e.g. 2h 45min), convert to minutes as: (2 × 60) + 45 = 165 minutes.
