Default EXCEL GURU WANTED - Time calculations

Can't see why you're using INT in your formula.

14:10 - 13:00 * 24 is not 1.17. It's 1.16666666666667

1.16666666666667 * 130 = 151.666666666667

Try this:

=ROUND((D2-E2)*24,2)*130

Result = 152.1

Format as GENERAL, NUMBER or CURRENCY

Problem is when taking a time-start cell from a time-end and applying a
rate
to the hours I get a different value from doing a simple calculation.

ie
simple calculation is
1.17 hours @ £130/hour = £152.10

Using times as
Start Cell E2 = 13:00 & Cell D2 End 14:10

Calculating as:
((E2-INT(E2))*24)-((D2-INT(D2))*24)
results as £1.17

Difference is 0.43?

I have tried other calculations e.g. hour(d2) + minute(d2)/60) etc

I am quite baffled can anyone help!

If this 1.17 is used in the calculation the result is
151.67
