Formula and method
This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:
- Layover:
(departureHour*60+departureMinute-(arrivalHour*60+arrivalMinute)+1440)%1440 - Layover:
((departureHour*60+departureMinute-(arrivalHour*60+arrivalMinute)+1440)%1440)/60
Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.
Examples
- Example: with Arrival hour = 10, Arrival minute = 20, Departure hour = 13, Departure minute = 5, this calculator returns Layover = 165 minutes, Layover = 2.75 hours.
