Time Converter

Time: convert between seconds, minutes, hours, and days using exact calendar-second definitions.

Works for any combination of the units above -- every value converts through the same verified base-unit math used on the individual pages.

How Time Units Relate

Time units follow a base-60 system (60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour) that predates the metric system by thousands of years, rather than the base-10 pattern used elsewhere in SI. The day is treated as exactly 24 hours here for calendar and everyday purposes.

Each of these has its own page with the exact formula, a reference table, and answers to common questions.
