Convert duration

Private in-browser conversion · common equivalents included

Enter one finite number. This quantity is treated as a magnitude, so the value cannot be negative. Select explicitly labeled units—especially where US, Imperial, decimal, or binary conventions differ. Results stay in this browser.

Quick guide

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter the value exactly as recorded, then choose its source unit and the unit you need.
  2. Check regional and technical qualifiers in the unit names. US and Imperial gallons, force and mass, absolute temperatures and temperature differences, and decimal and binary data prefixes are deliberately separate.
  3. Use the selected result first, then open the common-equivalents table when you need to compare several standards without re-entering the value.

Calculation method

How the time unit converter works

The entered duration is converted once to the canonical second basis and then from that basis to the selected output unit.

A Julian year is exactly 365.25 days. Calendar months and civil years vary and are intentionally excluded.

Worked example

Time Unit example

One day equals exactly 86,400 seconds.

source value × source-to-second relationship → canonical second value → destination-unit relationship

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

Unit convention

A Julian year is exactly 365.25 days. Calendar months and civil years vary and are intentionally excluded.

Precision

Definitions and exact conventional factors are retained internally where available. Display formatting uses up to 12 significant digits; very large or small results use scientific notation. Do not treat displayed digits as measurement accuracy beyond the source value.

Quantity boundary

This page converts duration. It does not infer a different physical quantity, material property, environmental condition, exchange rate, calendar rule, or regulatory value needed to make a cross-quantity conversion.

Privacy

Entered values and converted results stay in this browser and are not sent to analytics or third parties.
