Frequently Asked Questions

What time format should I use?

Use HH:MM:SS format where HH is hours (0-23), MM is minutes (0-59), and SS is seconds (0-59). For example: 01:30:45 means 1 hour, 30 minutes, and 45 seconds.

Can I calculate durations longer than 24 hours?

Yes! The calculator handles any duration, including multiple days. The breakdown shows days, hours, and minutes separately so you can easily understand long durations.

How do I subtract time durations?

Use the “Calculate Duration Between Two Times” section. Enter the start time and end time, and the calculator will show the difference. For manual subtraction, use the duration adder but plan your entries accordingly.

Can I delete a single row?

Yes! Each row has an “X” button on the right. Click it to remove that duration from the calculation. The total updates instantly.

Is my data saved or uploaded anywhere?

No. All calculations happen locally in your browser. Your data is never sent to any server and is not saved. Privacy is guaranteed.

Can I copy the results?

Yes! Click the “Copy Result” button below any calculated duration to copy it to your clipboard and paste it elsewhere.
