Adjust the available settings if needed.\nReview the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\nWorking with time calculator\nDate calculations can depend on calendar rules, time zones and whether endpoints are included. A duration in hours is different from a number of calendar days when daylight-saving changes occur.\nCommon questions\nAre all days exactly 24 hours long?\nElapsed time across a daylight-saving transition can differ from a simple calendar-day count. Use the measure relevant to your schedule.\nWhy can the same timestamp show different dates?\nA timestamp represents an instant, while a calendar date is interpreted in a time zone. Near midnight, the same instant can fall on different local dates.\nUseful next steps\nMeeting cost\nEstimate a meeting’s total staff cost.\nHourly to salary\nEstimate annual and monthly gross pay from an hourly rate.",

Correct invalid input before retrying; retry server-busy responses with bounded backoff. Returned files contain Base64 data, not persistent download URLs. Decode and inspect the output before treating conversion as successful. See the shared API guide for the complete status and timeout rules.\n\n### Browser-agent workflow\n\n1. Open the human page in a browser that supports WebMCP.\n2. Discover the interface exposed by that page; use its actual schema.\n3. Select files on the page first when the tool requires files.\n4. Call `run_current_tool` with valid input and settings.\n5. Inspect the returned result or error and the displayed output. Retrieve files from the displayed download links.\n\nCalls do not automatically copy or download results. Browser permissions still apply. Interface availability alone is not proof of successful execution.\n\n### Planning specification\n\nAdd/subtract hours/minutes/seconds and convert decimal hours.\n\nThis describes intended requirements. Use the implementation notes, interface schema and observed output to determine current support.\n\n### Complete machine-readable capability record\n\n```json\n{\n  \"id\": \"time-calculator\",\n  \"category\": \"date-time-tools\",\n  \"built\": true,\n  \"requirements\": \"Add/subtract hours/minutes/seconds and convert decimal hours.\",\n  \"implementation\": {\n    \"fields\": [\n      {\n        \"key\": \"start\",\n        \"label\": \"Start time\",\n        \"value\": \"09:00\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"end\",\n        \"label\": \"End time\",\n        \"value\": \"17:00\",\n        \"type\": \"text\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"break\",\n        \"label\": \"Unpaid break (minutes)\",\n        \"value\": 30,\n        \"type\": \"number\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"overnight\",\n        \"label\": \"Ends next day\",\n        \"value\": false,\n        \"type\": \"checkbox\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"key\": \"rate\",\n        \"label\": \"Hourly rate\",\n        \"value\": 20,\n        \"type\": \"number\"\n      }\n    ],\n    \"experience\": {\n      \"automatic\": true,\n      \"single\": false,\n      \"label\": \"Your text\",\n      \"placeholder\": \"Hello world!\",\n      \"help\": \"Change the input or settings to update your result.

Enter your text in the input field.\n2. The result updates as you type. Adjust the available settings if needed.\n3. Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.\n\n## Working with time calculator\n\nDate calculations can depend on calendar rules, time zones and whether endpoints are included. A duration in hours is different from a number of calendar days when daylight-saving changes occur.\n\n## Common questions\n\n### Are all days exactly 24 hours long?\n\nElapsed time across a daylight-saving transition can differ from a simple calendar-day count. Use the measure relevant to your schedule.\n\n### Why can the same timestamp show different dates?\n\nA timestamp represents an instant, while a calendar date is interpreted in a time zone. Near midnight, the same instant can fall on different local dates.\n\n## Useful next steps\n\n- [Meeting cost](https://happytails.ai/en/business-tools/meeting-cost/): Estimate a meeting’s total staff cost.
