Time Subtraction Calculator
Subtract hours and minutes from a starting time.
Worth Knowing
Subtracting a duration from a time requires borrowing in base 60 — taking 40 minutes from 8:20 means borrowing an hour as 60 minutes, giving 7:40. Getting that borrow wrong is the usual source of error, along with times that cross back before midnight into the previous day. It's the calculation behind working out a departure time from a required arrival, or a start time from a deadline and an estimated duration.
