The result is most useful when the inputs match the definitions used by this calculator. For this tool, the underlying method is: Total = (Hours1 ± Hours2) + (Minutes1 ± Minutes2), converted to proper time format. Compare the output with the worked example, then change one meaningful input at a time to see how the result responds.
