| 30 min | 30 ÷ 60 | 0.50 | ½ of an hour |
| 45 min | 45 ÷ 60 | 0.75 | ¾ of an hour |
| 60 min | 60 ÷ 60 | 1.00 | Full hour |
When your timesheet shows 8h 45m and you need to enter it into payroll software that requires decimal hours, you look up 45 in this chart → 0.75 → enter 8.75 hours. No math needed.
This chart is also useful for billing clients, calculating contractor pay, verifying time clock exports, and any situation where you need to switch between clock time and decimal time quickly.
