How to convert months to hours?

To convert months to hours, start with the time base you’ll use. Most months-to-hours conversions use an average month length, not a fixed calendar month.

Average month (common in calculators): 1 month = 730 hours
Formula: hours = months × 730
Example: 2.5 months × 730 = 1,825 hours
Exact calendar month (if you need precision):
Formula: hours = days in the month × 24
Example: April has 30 days, so 30 × 24 = 720 hours

Tip: If your result needs to match a specific billing cycle or date range, use the calendar month method. If you need a quick, standard month to hour conversion, use 730 hours per month.

These averages help when you don’t need an exact calendar month.

Why does the months-to-hours conversion change?

Months don’t all have the same number of days. Some have 30 days, some have 31, and February has 28 or 29. That’s why the number of hours in a month changes too.

Does daylight saving time change the hours in a month?

For most basic conversions, no. Month-to-hours math assumes 24 hours per day.
In real life, daylight saving time can make a local day 23 or 25 hours in some places. That can slightly change the total hours in a specific month in a specific time zone.

How many hours are in a 30-day month?

A 30-day month has 720 hours.
Calculation: 30 × 24 = 720.

How many hours are in a 31-day month?

A 31-day month has 744 hours.
Calculation: 31 × 24 = 744.

How many hours are in February?

February has:

672 hours in a common year (28 days × 24)
696 hours in a leap year (29 days × 24)

How do you convert fractional months to hours?

First pick a month length or an average month value. Then multiply by the fraction.

Using an average month (730.5 hours):
- 0.5 months ≈ 365.25 hours
- 1.5 months ≈ 1,095.75 hours If you need calendar-accurate results, base the fraction on the actual days in the month.

What’s the best month value to use for payroll or time tracking?

Use the method your policy uses. Common approaches are:

Actual calendar month (28 to 31 days) for exact totals
Average month (about 730 to 730.5 hours) for steady estimates For official records, stick to actual dates and hours worked.

Is “1 month = 720 hours” always correct?

No. 720 hours matches only a 30-day month. A month can be 672, 696, 720, or 744 hours, depending on the month and year.
