To convert hours to months, you need a clear month length. Since months vary (28 to 31 days), most conversions use an average month based on the year.
Standard average month (recommended for hours-to-months conversion):
Hours to months formula:
Quick examples:
If you need a result for a real calendar month, use that month’s exact days:
A month doesn’t have a single fixed number of hours. Months have 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. Multiply the number of days by 24 to get the hours.
Convert hours to months by choosing the month length you want to use. Then divide hours by the hours in that month.
Example using a 30-day month:
It changes because months don’t all have the same number of days. February can have 28 or 29 days, and other months have 30 or 31 days. The same hours can be a different part of a month depending on the month.
It depends on the month length.

Using common month lengths:
A common average is based on the average days per month in a year.
This works well for long time spans, like payroll or interest estimates.
Payroll often uses an average month. A common method is to use 2,080 work hours per year for full-time (40 hours per week). Then divide by 12.
Some employers use a different standard. Always match the rule being used.
First set what “one work month” means for your schedule. Many people use the average full-time month of 173.33 hours.
If you work part-time, use your own monthly hours instead.
It depends on your definition of a work month.
Using the full-time average of 173.33 hours per month:
Using a 4-week month at 40 hours per week (160 hours):
You can use the average month in hours (about 730 hours). This gives a consistent result and works well for estimates.
For a date-specific answer, use the exact month days.
24 hours is 1 day, so it’s a small fraction of a month.
It depends on which months you mean. For a quick estimate, use the average month.
For exact hours, add the day counts for each month and multiply by 24.
For an average-year estimate:
In a leap year:
A 30-day period always equals 720 hours. A calendar month can be 672, 696, 720, or 744 hours. If you need a fixed length, use days. If you need a calendar period, use the actual month.
