About this calculator

Time conversions are mechanical: 60 s/min, 60 min/hr, 24 hr/day. Auto-formatting to hh:mm:ss is most useful: 3725 seconds = 01:02:05. Programmers use Unix epoch seconds (since 1970-01-01). Astronomy uses Julian date. Long-duration projects: count in millions of seconds (1M s ≈ 11.6 days).

Frequently asked

How many seconds in a year?+

~31.5 million (31,536,000). Calendar year. Sidereal: 31,558,150.

Minute = 60 seconds always?+

Civil time: yes. Atomic clocks occasionally insert "leap seconds" — minute can be 61 sec.

hh:mm:ss with > 99 hours?+

Some formats overflow (hh exceeds 99). For very long durations, use days+ instead.

Negative time?+

For deltas: yes (countdown, time-since-event). Always-positive durations: no.

Frame rates?+

Video uses time × frame rate. 30fps × 1 hr = 108,000 frames. Time-of-day relative to media playback.
