You get 15 minutes at the start, and then 10 seconds are added to your clock after each move. 

Here's another thread regarding the same question~

What does the screen show?  Does a player’s time show on the screen?

This is a 15-minute game with 10-second increment, meaning that both players start with 15 minutes on the clock, and 10 seconds are added onto that player's clock for every move they play.

you've revived a thread from 2020

For the fun of it, honestly, I decided to revive a thread from 2009.

Yep, you'll see the time there at the same spot just as it normally is in regular games without increments.

That is what I now play because too many people take too long in 30 min rapid, but what does 15 10 typically work out to?
