The second time is earlier, so the gap is measured across midnight.

How to use this calculator

Enter the earlier time in the From field.
Enter the later time in the To field.
If the second time is on the next day, the calculator adds 24 hours automatically.

How the calculation works

Both times are converted to minutes past midnight.
The first is subtracted from the second, adding 1,440 minutes when the result would be zero or negative.
Decimal hours are minutes ÷ 60 to two decimal places.
