How to Calculate Time Without the Tool

Manually:

  1. Write down the start and end times (e.g., 8:39 AM to 9:42 AM).
  2. Convert to 24-hour time if needed.
  3. Subtract start time from end time:
  4. Hour difference: 9 - 8 = 1 hour
  5. Minute difference: 42 - 39 = 3 minutes

Result: 1 hour and 3 minutes

Tip: If end minutes < start minutes, borrow 1 hour (60 minutes) and adjust accordingly.

Using Excel:

  1. Enter start time in A1 (e.g., 8:30 AM) and end time in B1 (e.g., 9:42 AM).
  2. In C1, enter: =B1-A1
  3. Format the result as h:mm or hh:mm:ss under “Format Cells” → Custom.
