How do you calculate hours between two dates?

To calculate the hours between any two dates:

  1. Multiply the difference in days between the dates by 24.
  2. Add this number to the difference between each day's hours using a 24-hour format. To find this difference, use the formula:
    hours difference = later day hours - earlier date hours.
    This number can be negative.
  3. The result is the time difference in hours.

If you want to know how to obtain the difference in days between the dates quickly, check our days between dates calculator 📅.

Let's take a look at some examples next.

How many hours are there between 9 am and 4 pm?

There are 7 hours between 09:00 A.M. and 04:00 P.M. You can quickly obtain the hours between two times on the same day by subtracting the earlier hour from the later hour using a 24-hour format: 16 - 9 = 7.

If the dates were different, let's say Aug 8 16:00 and Dec 22 09:00:

  1. According to our step-by-step above, we would need to multiply the difference in days between them by 24 first. There are 136 days between these dates, so:
    136 × 24 = 3264.
  2. Now, for the difference in hours:
    later day hours - earlier date hours = 9 - 16 = -7.
  3. By adding these results, we get the total hours between Aug 8 16:00 and Dec 22 09:00:
    3264 + (-7) = 3257.
