How this is calculated

Formula:

weeks = hours / 168

In plain language:

Every entry is normalized to seconds; dividing by 604,800 yields weeks, multiplying weeks by 168 returns hours, and days/minutes ride on the same base.

The formula is always visible so you can verify the math and explain your numbers to anyone who asks.

Hours to weeks explained

This calculator turns hours into weeks or weeks back into hours so you can summarise logs, sprints, or downtime in the unit that reads best. Everything is anchored on the relation 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours = 604,800 seconds, so you can switch views without retyping numbers.

How the conversion works

All inputs are normalised to seconds, then rescaled:

Hours → weeks: $w = \dfrac{h}{168}$
Weeks → hours: $h = w \times 168$
Hours → days (helper): $d = \dfrac{h}{24}$

Units and conversions

Unit	Symbol	Relation to base
Second	s	base
Minute	min	$1\,\text{min} = 60\,\text{s}$
Hour	h	$1\,\text{h} = 3{,}600\,\text{s}$
Day	d	$1\,\text{d} = 86{,}400\,\text{s}$
Week	wk	$1\,\text{wk} = 604{,}800\,\text{s}$

Worked examples

Compress a long outage
$240\,\text{h} \div 168 = 1.4286\,\text{wk}$ → about 1 week + 3 days.
Expand a plan in weeks into hours
$2.5\,\text{wk} \times 168 = 420\,\text{h}$ .
Quick check via days
$72\,\text{h} \div 24 = 3\,\text{d}$ ; switching the output to weeks shows $0.4286\,\text{wk}$ .

Tips and pitfalls

Keep two to three decimals when converting back from weeks to hours so long projects don’t drift.
If payroll needs whole hours, round at the end, not mid-calculation.
When comparing schedules, convert everything to the same unit (weeks for capacity, hours for billing) before summing.
