About Time to Decimal Conversion

Decimal time format is commonly used in payroll systems, time tracking software, and billing systems. It makes calculations easier because you can multiply hours directly by hourly rates.

Formula: Decimal Hours = Hours + (Minutes ÷ 60)
Example: 8 hours 30 minutes = 8 + (30 ÷ 60) = 8.5 hours
Common conversions: 15 min = 0.25, 30 min = 0.5, 45 min = 0.75
Most payroll systems require time in decimal format for calculations
