I am trying to convert minutes to a decimal, then take that decimal and convert it to money. If I take 00:56 and convert it to a decimal with the formula:

=(HOUR(A1)+INT((A1))*24+MINUTE(A1)/60)

I get 0.93. Then I take that Cell and multiply by the pay rate of $21.00 with the formula of : =B2*21 I get $16.60!!

0.93 x 21 = 19.53

I seems that only every third minute is correct, the others are off by .07 cents.

Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

Try this formula instead.

=A1*24*21

and if you want it rounded to 2 decimal places use:

=ROUND(A1*24*21,2)

0:30 10.50
0:56 19.60
0:57 19.95
0:58 20.30
0:59 20.65
1:00 21.00

The formula =A1*24*21 gives the correct result.

0:56 56 minutes is .9333333 not .93
