To find the time between two clock times, you subtract them — but borrowing minutes across the 60 boundary is where mental math slips. TCalc does true time subtraction: 13:05 − 08:47 correctly borrows and returns 4h 18m.

The result is a real duration you can keep calculating with: subtract a break, multiply it, or convert it to decimal hours, minutes, or seconds with one tap.

Real Examples

17:45 - 09:15=8h 30m

Duration between a start and end time.

13:05 - 08:47=4h 18m

Tricky minute borrowing handled correctly.

17:30 - 09:00 - 30m=8h

Duration minus a break in one expression.

22:00 + 8h=6:00 AM (next day)

The reverse question: what time is it 8 hours after 22:00?

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate the duration between two times?

Subtract the earlier time from the later one: 17:45 − 09:15 = 8h 30m. In TCalc you type it exactly like that and can subtract breaks in the same expression.

Can I see the duration as decimal hours?

Yes — TCalc has 15 output formats. Switch to the hours format and 8h 30m displays as 8.5h; minutes and seconds formats are one tap away too.

What about durations across midnight?

Split at midnight and add the parts (22:00 to 06:00 = 2h + 6h = 8h), or flip the question and add the duration to the start: 22:00 + 8h shows 6:00 AM the next day.
