Total

0:00:00

How it works

  1. Enter one duration per line, in HH:MM or HH:MM:SS.
  2. Prefix any line with "-" to subtract it instead of adding it.
  3. The running total updates on every keystroke, shown as HH:MM:SS, minutes, and hours.

The formula

Each line converts to total seconds, then they're summed:

seconds = hours × 3600 + minutes × 60 + seconds

Example: 2:30 + 1:45 − 0:15 = 9,000 + 6,300 − 900 = 14,400 seconds, or 4:00:00.

FAQ

Can I subtract time as well as add it?

Yes — prefix a line with "-" to subtract it from the running total, or "+" (or nothing) to add it.

What formats are accepted?

HH:MM or HH:MM:SS, with hours unrestricted (e.g. "12:45" or "130:00" for very long totals).

Can the total go negative?

Yes — if your subtractions outweigh your additions, the total shows a leading minus sign.

Is my data uploaded anywhere?

No — every calculation happens in your browser as you type.
