what time will you get home vs what time are you getting home

Both sentences are correct and commonly used to inquire about the time someone will arrive at home, but they differ slightly. 'What time will you get home?' is more formal and focuses on a future event, while 'What time are you getting home?' is more casual and implies a more immediate time frame.
