The time calculator
that just adds up.
Type a sum like 5h 30m + 2h 15m and read off the answer. Add, subtract, multiply, and divide durations straight from your keyboard. It runs the same engine as the Cardamon app, now in your browser.
Type hours, minutes, days, weeks, months, years, or seconds, as full words or shorthand (h m d w), with + - * /. Pick how the answer reads with Show result as up top. It all runs in your browser. Drag the card’s right edge to make it wider.
How do I calculate time with this tool?
Write your durations on one line and join them with operators. + adds, − subtracts, × multiplies by a number, and ÷ divides. Each duration is a number and a unit, like 2h or 45 min. Chain as many as you want and the calculator rolls them up for you.
| Unit | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Years | y · year · years | 1y 6mo |
| Months | mo · month | 3mo + 2w |
| Weeks | w · week | 1w 3d |
| Days | d · day | 2 days - 4h |
| Hours | h · hr · hour | 8h 15m |
| Minutes | m · min · minute | 90 min |
| Seconds | s · sec · second | 30s |
| Milliseconds | ms · msec · millisecond | 500 ms |
Time unit conversions, at a glance
The calculator runs on these exact numbers. 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 86,400 seconds. A week is 7 days, an hour is 60 minutes, a minute is 60 seconds, and a second is 1,000 milliseconds.

Loved on Google Play
Love the app, makes doing my timesheets for work so much easier.
As a truck driver, it's important to keep track of all the different times you've worked. Very practical.
Handy tool to convert time between different formats, e.g. for software developers.
Works great for my audio editing.
Able to do any type of time calculation that I would ever need, with ease. No ads either. What else could you ask for?
The only time calculator app with milliseconds I found.
It correctly converts to days, hours, minutes and seconds, and you can choose a different format. I liked it, even with the simple interface.
Use it to calculate work hours.
I like this app because you can divide, multiply, subtract and add the time.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add hours and minutes together?
Put a + between the durations, like "5h 30m + 2h 15m", and you get 7 Hours 45 Minutes. Mix any units you like (days, hours, minutes, seconds) and choose how the answer reads with the format picker.
How do I subtract time?
Use a minus sign. "8h - 90m" gives 6 Hours 30 Minutes, and "2 days - 4h" gives 1 Day 20 Hours. It subtracts across units, so you never have to convert everything to minutes first.
Can I multiply or divide a duration?
Yes. Pair a number with × (or *) and ÷ (or /). "8h 15m × 3" gives 24 Hours 45 Minutes, and "1 day ÷ 4" gives 6 Hours. Handy for shifts, billing, or splitting time evenly.
What units does the time calculator support?
Years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. Type the full word or the shorthand (h, m, d, w, s), like "1w 3d", "90 min", or "1d 4h 30m". Months take "mo" so they don't clash with minutes.
Is the time calculator free?
The web version is free to use and is supported by ads. The Android app is free with no ads, with an optional donation if you want to support it. On iOS, a Pro upgrade unlocks the full app. Whichever you use, the calculation runs entirely on your device.
Does the website give the same results as the app?
Yes. The site runs the very same engine as the Cardamon apps, compiled for your browser, so the answer you get here matches the app down to the millisecond.
Why doesn't typing "2 + 2" work?
Every number needs a unit. "2 + 2" is ambiguous, but "2h + 2h" gives 4 Hours and "2d + 2h" gives 2 Days 2 Hours. The only bare number allowed is the multiplier or divisor, like the 3 in "8h 15m × 3". Always attach a unit to each value.
How do I change the format of the result?
Open the format picker and pick how the answer reads. Options include Hour Minute, Hour Minute Second, Day Hour Minute, Minute, Second, and Week Day. The same total stays fixed; only the wording changes, so "450 minutes" can show as 7 Hours 30 Minutes or 450 Minutes.
How do I get a minutes and seconds (min:sec) result?
Type your calculation, then choose the Minute Second format from the picker. "3m 45s + 90s" becomes 5 Minutes 15 Seconds. You can also pick plain Second to read it as 315 Seconds, or Hour Minute Second for longer durations. The format only changes how the answer is displayed.
Does it work offline and in the browser?
Yes. The web version runs entirely in your browser using the compiled calculation engine, so it keeps working with no connection once the page has loaded. The calculation never leaves your device. The Android and iOS apps run fully offline too.
Are there any ads?
It depends on the platform. The Android app is free and has no ads. The web version is free to use and is supported by ads. On iOS, you unlock the full version with a Pro purchase instead of ads. In every case the calculation runs on your device.
Can results be negative?
Yes. When you subtract a larger duration from a smaller one, the result goes negative. "30m - 2h" gives -1 Hour 30 Minutes. This is useful for tracking deficits, like time over or under a budgeted total, without forcing you to reorder the durations yourself.
Does it handle milliseconds?
Yes. Milliseconds are a supported unit, written as "ms". You can add, subtract, multiply, or divide them like any other unit, for example "1s - 250ms" gives 750 Milliseconds. It is one of the few time calculators that goes down to the millisecond, which audio and dev users rely on.
How do I get a decimal hours result like 8.25?
Type your durations, then choose the single Hour format from the picker. "8h 15m" reads as 8.25 Hours, and "90 min" reads as 1.5 Hours. Values that don't divide evenly show seven digits, so "1h 20m" becomes 1.3333333 Hours. Great for payroll and timesheets.
How do I find the time between two times?
Enter each clock time as a duration from midnight, then subtract. For 9:15 to 17:45, type "17h 45m - 9h 15m" to get 8 Hours 30 Minutes. For an overnight span, add 24h to the end time. This is pure duration math, so it never uses dates, the clock, or now.
How do I add up video or audio lengths?
Add the clip lengths with + signs, like "22m 30s + 45s + 1m 15s", then pick Minute Second to read 24 Minutes 30 Seconds. Seconds and milliseconds are both supported, so "3m 12s 500ms + 47s" works too. Handy for stacking podcast segments, tracks, or render times.
