Convert Hours to Weeks - Time Converter

Conversion is performed using a constant, exact relationship: 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours. That relationship is a simple arithmetic ratio and does not require interpolation, lookup tables, or calendar-specific adjustments.

For regulatory or operational uses (payroll, overtime, scheduling), confirm whether local rules define a work week differently from the calendar week. When using results for reporting or compliance, round or truncate per your local standards and document the rounding method.

Accuracy considerations: the arithmetic conversion is exact in rational arithmetic. When representing results in floating point, small rounding differences can occur; report results with an appropriate number of decimal places and disclose rounding rules where required by policy or regulation.

To convert hours to weeks, divide hours by 168 because there are 168 hours in a 7-day week.

Use calendar-week results for duration comparisons. For payroll or regulatory uses, confirm the definition of a work week and apply rounding rules required by policy or law.

Example 1: 168 hours → 168 ÷ 168 = 1 week.

Example 2: 336 hours → 336 ÷ 168 = 2 weeks.

Example 3: 40 hours → 40 ÷ 168 ≈ 0.238095 weeks (about 0.24 weeks when rounded to two decimal places).
