Precise hour-level planning keeps production schedules, service desks, and travel itineraries on track. This hours calculator accepts full timestamps (year through second), supports decimal hours, and outputs results with two decimal places whenever fractional hours appear.

The quick reference table shows what time it will be from 1 to 48 hours from now and what time it was the same number of hours ago, matching the requirement for bilingual planning aides.
