Hello Aldo,

You can calculate the number of minutes between two times like this:

Starting time: {formdate: HH:mm; name=Time1}
Final time: {formdate: HH:mm; name=Time2}

{note: preview=no; trim=yes}
{datetime1=datetimeparse(Time1, "HH:mm")}
{datetime2=datetimeparse(Time2, "HH:mm")}
{endnote}

The difference between the two times is {=datetimediff(datetime1, datetime2, "m")} minutes.

If you can get the time values from somewhere on your webpage using the {site} command, then you don't need to specify it via the Date forms. The logic to calculate it remains thesame.
