Converters
Time Converter
Convert durations between time units. Months and years do not have fixed lengths, so this converter uses a 30-day month and a 365-day year — stated openly, because a converter that hides that assumption will disagree with a calendar.

Worth knowing
- Months and years vary in length. The values here use a fixed 30-day month and 365-day year, which is stated on each result rather than hidden — for exact calendar differences use the Date Difference Calculator.
How to use this tool
- Enter the duration you want to convert.
- Choose the units you have and the units you want.
Notes and limitations
- Months and years vary in length. This converter uses a fixed 30-day month and a 365-day year, which is fine for rough durations but wrong for calendar arithmetic.
- For an exact number of days between two real dates, including leap years, use the Date Difference Calculator instead.
- Leap seconds are not modelled. They matter only for precision timekeeping, not for everyday durations.
Frequently asked questions
How many seconds are in a day?
86,400 — that is 24 hours × 60 minutes × 60 seconds.
How many hours are in a week?
168, which is 7 days × 24 hours.
Why does this use a 30-day month?
Because a month has no fixed length — they run from 28 to 31 days. A converter has to pick one, and 30 is the usual convention. When the exact figure matters, use the Date Difference Calculator on real dates.
