About this tool
Six‑minute increments split each hour into ten equal parts, so every 6 minutes equals 0.1 hours (a “tenth”). This calculator converts minutes and seconds to tenths and supports common billing increments (6/10/15/30) and rounding policies (nearest, up, threshold, down). It’s designed for legal timekeeping and attorney time tracking, where firms often standardize on 6‑minute rounding. For structured narratives, try our Narrative Builder.
