Example Calculations

Same Day: 9 AM to 4 PM

From: Today 09:00 AM

To: Today 04:00 PM

Calculation: 16:00 - 09:00 = 7 hours

Different Days: Aug 8 4PM to Dec 22 9AM

Step 1: Days difference = 136 days

Step 2: 136 × 24 = 3,264 hours

Step 3: Hour difference = 9 - 16 = -7 hours

Total: 3,264 + (-7) = 3,257 hours

How to Calculate Hours Between Dates

Calculation Method

To calculate hours between any two dates and times, we use the following approach:

  1. 1.Convert both dates and times to milliseconds since epoch
  2. 2.Calculate the difference in milliseconds
  3. 3.Convert milliseconds to hours by dividing by (1000 × 60 × 60)

When to Use This Calculator

  • Planning work schedules and deadlines
  • Calculating time until events or appointments
  • Measuring project durations
  • Time zone conversions and travel planning

Formula Breakdown

Hours = (Later DateTime - Earlier DateTime) / (1000 × 60 × 60)

Where DateTime is in milliseconds

Step-by-Step Example

Example: Monday 2 PM to Friday 5 PM

• Days difference: 4 days

• Hours from days: 4 × 24 = 96 hours

• Time difference: 17:00 - 14:00 = 3 hours

• Total: 96 + 3 = 99 hours

Tip: Our calculator automatically handles leap years, different month lengths, and daylight saving time changes.
