Military Time Converter

The military time converter swiftly converts standard time into military time and vice versa. The military time calculator measures the time in standard military 24 hours instead of using two groups of 12 hours am and pm clocks.

What is the Military Time?

Military time is a 24-hour military clock specially designed to avoid confusion between the daytime and nighttime. The main reason for the military time conversion is that the armed forces do operations around the clock. 

If you are confused about how to convert military time to standard time, then the military time to regular time converter is a good source to do the job. Keep in mind the 24-hour regular clock is different from the military time conversion.

The time format of the military time is

HHMM or HH: MM

where

• HH =  number of full hours passed since midnight (00 - 23)
• MM = number of full minutes passed since the last full hour (00 - 59)

In the military application, the separator or the colon is removed but these are still in the 24-hour clock. The military time calculator explains the difference between the regular 24-hour clock and the military hour clock. You can learn how to read the military time while using our military time conversion calculator.

How to Do Military Time Conversion?

For military time to regular time conversion, follow the steps below:

• Remove the colon in the morning or am time. Keep in mind the regular time conversion to military time is the same in the morning hours.
• To convert military time from standard time, add a leading zero if the time is earlier than 1 am. For example, 7:3 am is 73 in military time.
• If the time is after 12:59 pm, then military time conversion requires adding 12 hours to the regular time. For example, if the time is 3:27 pm, then remove the colon and add 12 hours to get 1527 in the military time converter.
• If the time is between 12: am midnight to 12:59 am, remove the colon and subtract the 12 hours. For example, 12:8 am is 8 in military time conversion.

• 12: am midnight  
• 12: am midnight in military time is hours at the beginning of a day or event, and 24 hours at the end of the day or event.
