Time Unit Converter

Convert between seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks.

Free to use, no sign-up required. Time Unit Converter is one of 198 tools built into Xenition, alongside a chat that can use them for you.

Converts durations between milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years. Useful for turning a large number of seconds into days, or a project length in weeks into months.

How to use Time Unit Converter

  1. Enter the duration in the left box.
  2. Choose its unit — it starts on min.
  3. Choose the target unit — it starts on h.
  4. Read the result; decimals are fractions of the target unit, not minutes or hours.

How it works

Every unit is stored in seconds. A day is 86,400 s and a week 604,800 s. A year is the average Julian year of 365.25 days (31,557,600 s), and a month is one twelfth of that, 30.4375 days.

Example

A million seconds is 11.574074 days. 90 days is 2.956879 months, because the average month here is 30.4375 days.

Questions about Time Unit Converter

Why doesn’t 90 days come out as 3 months?

Calendar months run from 28 to 31 days. The tool uses the average month, 30.4375 days, so 3 months is 91.3 days. For a real calendar span between two dates, count the actual days.

How many days are in a year?

365 in a common year and 366 in a leap year. Averaged over the four-year leap cycle that is 365.25, the value used here. The Gregorian calendar’s long-run average is 365.2425.
