How do I convert decimal hours to minutes for payroll?

Multiply the decimal hours by 60. For example, 7.5 hours = 450 minutes, 7.25 hours = 435 minutes, and 8.75 hours = 525 minutes. This is essential for accurate timesheet calculations in provinces like Ontario and BC.

Expert Tips for Hours to Minutes Conversion

For payroll: timesheet decimal hours convert directly — 7.5 h = 450 min, 8.0 h = 480 min. If someone worked 7 h 42 min, enter 7.7 to get 462 minutes

Quarter-hour increments are standard in billing: 0.25 h = 15 min, 0.5 h = 30 min, 0.75 h = 45 min. Most professionals bill in 6-minute (0.1 h) increments

When cooking, remember that 0.5 h = 30 min and 1.25 h = 75 min. Most slow cooker recipes use 4-8 hour ranges (240-480 minutes)

For fitness tracking, a 45-minute workout is 0.75 hours, and the recommended 150 minutes of weekly activity equals 2.5 hours

Flight durations are often listed in decimal hours on booking sites. A flight from Halifax to Toronto (2.5 hours) means 150 minutes of total travel time
