How to convert 6 minutes to decimal
Decimal hours = minutes ÷ 60, so 6 ÷ 60 = 0.1.
Going back: 0.10 × 60 = 6 minutes. Any whole number of hours plus 6 minutes ends in .10: 1:06 = 1.10, 7:06 = 7.10, 8:06 = 8.10.
Payroll example
You work 6 hours 6 minutes at $20.00 an hour.
- Convert the time: 6 + 6 ÷ 60 = 6 + 0.10 = 6.10 hours.
- Multiply by the rate: 6.10 × $20.00 = $122.00.
Typing 6:06 as 6.06 would pay $121.20 instead: $0.80 too little. Add up a whole week of clock times with the time card calculator.
