Worked example

Examples

09:30 + 7 h 45 min = 17:15 (5:15 PM)

22:00 + 5 h = 03:00 next day

14:20 − 2 h 50 min = 11:30

Useful for shifts, travel and cooking

Work out when a train arrives after a long journey, when a shift ends after breaks, or when to take food out of the oven. For the total duration between two clock times with breaks deducted, use the work hours calculator; for date-based gaps, use the date calculator.

Tips for accurate results
