Calculating hours for a timesheet

[Niq]

I am trying to create a worksheet where I can enter my start & end times and
then use that figure to calculate my hourly fee in dollars. I have separate
columns for the start & end times, another column that calculates what the
difference between those is (but it shows it in h:mm format), so I have
another column that converts that to a decimal (using the INT function), a
column that has the hourly fee & a column for the final rate. Is there a way
to eliminate the extra column with the h:mm format?

=(C4-B4)*24*D4

Where
C4 = finisht time
B4 = start Time
D4 = hourly rate

Hi!

You can eliminate the difference column and the decimal
column:

A2 = Start
B2 = End
C2 = Difference
D2 = Decimal value
E2 = Hourly fee

=(B2-A2+(A2>B2))*24*E2
