Decimal Hours accuracy and testing
This page documents how Calwarden builds trust for this calculator: source notes, regression-style default tests, limitations, assumptions, unit handling, rounding, and visible change history.
Formula source
- The formula is simple: **Decimal Hours = Hours + (Minutes / 60)**. Example: 8 hours 15 minutes = 8 + (15/60) = 8 + 0.25 = 8.25.
Test cases
Default input regression check
Generated from the checked-in default inputs and calculate function.
Inputs
- Hours: 8
- Minutes: 30
Expected outputs
- Decimal Hours: 8.5
- Rounded (2 decimals): 8.5
Known limitations
- This page documents the checked-in calculator logic and does not certify results for every real-world edge case.
- Use the result as a planning estimate unless the calculator page states a stricter purpose.
Assumptions
- Minutes are treated as a fraction of one hour, so the conversion always divides by 60.
- The calculator does not apply rounding rules beyond the displayed two-decimal helper output.
- This tool converts a known duration and does not calculate start/end times or subtract breaks.
Unit handling
- Hours accepts numeric values.
- Minutes accepts numeric values.
Rounding rules
- Number displays use up to 2 decimal places in the calculator UI.
