How to use the Time Converter

  1. Type the Value you want to convert.
  2. Pick the unit it is in under From, and the unit you want under To. The swap button flips them.
  3. The answer updates as you type. The table below it shows the same value in every other unit, each with its own copy button.

How it works

1 min = 60 s; 1 h = 3,600 s; 1 day = 86,400 s; 1 week = 604,800 s
1 month = 30.4375 days (average of the Gregorian calendar over 4 years)
1 year = 365.25 days (Julian year)
result = value × from-unit (s) ÷ to-unit (s)

Examples

  • 1.5 h = 90 min.
  • 1 day = 86,400 s.
  • 1 year = 8,766 h (365.25 days).
  • 2,500 ms = 2.5 s.

Months and years are averages

Seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks have fixed lengths. Months and years don't: a month has 28 to 31 days and a year 365 or 366. To convert them to a single number, this tool uses averages: a year of 365.25 days and a month of one twelfth of that, 30.4375 days. For the exact number of days between two dates, use the Days Between Dates calculator instead.

Limitations

  • Months and years use averages, not calendar dates.
  • Leap seconds are ignored.
  • Time can't be negative.

Frequently asked questions
