How to Use This Calculator

1

Gather your durations

Paste times from timesheets, meeting notes, or workout logs into the textbox—one duration per line.

2

Use consistent formatting

Enter HH:MM or HH:MM:SS. Add seconds for precise timers. Lines without content are ignored.

3

Review totals

See the sum in HH:MM:SS plus conversions to days, hours, and minutes. Use it for payroll, productivity, or training logs.

Formula

Total Seconds = Σ (Hours × 3600 + Minutes × 60 + Seconds)

Days = floor(Total Seconds ÷ 86,400)

HH:MM:SS = format(Total Seconds mod 86,400)

Example: 02:45 + 01:15 + 00:30 = 14,400 seconds = 04:30:00 (4.5 hours).

Why It Matters

Summing time manually is error-prone. Automating it ensures accurate billing, project tracking, and compliance with work limits.

  • Reconcile timesheets to confirm payroll and overtime totals.
  • Compare planned vs. actual project hours for better estimates.
  • Track study, practice, or training time for goal accountability.
  • Aggregate multiple video/audio clip lengths before editing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I include negative durations?

This tool sums positive durations. If you need net totals, convert deductions manually and subtract.

Does it support decimal hours?

Not directly. Convert decimal hours to HH:MM first (e.g., 1.5 hours → 01:30) for best accuracy.

What about days over 24 hours?

The calculator outputs days separately so you can see when totals exceed 24 hours.

Can I export results?

Copy the totals and breakdown into spreadsheets or reports. The durations list remains editable for adjustments.
