For Example:

EndTIme = '01:20';

These variables are string

Make a function to parse a string like that into minutes:

function parseTime(s) {

   var c = s.split(':');

   return parseInt(c[0]) * 60 + parseInt(c[1]);

}

Now you can parse the strings and just subtract:

var minutes = parseTime(EndTIme) - parseTime(StartTime);
