How the chart is built

Every value is minutes divided by 60. Fifteen minutes is a quarter of an hour, 0.25; thirty is half, 0.50; forty-five is 0.75. Minutes that are not multiples of six give repeating decimals, so payroll rounds to two places. The three-place column is there when you need the exact figure.

The quarter and tenth columns show where each minute would land if the time were rounded to the nearest 15 or 6 minutes. Rounding is a separate step from converting; the rounding calculator and the 7-minute rule calculator cover it.

Sources and reuse

The figures match the decimal conversion charts published by state labor and payroll offices, which all use minutes divided by 60. This table is generated from the same math the site's calculators use, so the chart and the tools never disagree.

Common questions

How do I read the minutes to decimal chart?

Find the minutes in the left column and read the decimal hours next to it. 15 minutes is 0.25 hours, 30 minutes is 0.50, 45 minutes is 0.75. The value is the minutes divided by 60, rounded to two decimal places for payroll.

Why is 7 minutes 0.12 and not 0.117?

Seven divided by 60 is 0.1166..., which is 0.117 at three decimal places and 0.12 at the two places payroll uses. Both are in the chart. The two-place figure is what most payroll systems store.
