Understanding Time Units

Time calculations involve different units working together:

  • 1 hour = 60 minutes
  • 1 minute = 60 seconds
  • 12-hour format uses AM/PM
  • 24-hour format runs from 00:00 to 23:59

Tips for Accurate Calculations

  • Double-check your input format (12-hour vs 24-hour)
  • Consider AM/PM when using 12-hour format
  • Use appropriate units for your calculation
  • Remember that time calculations wrap around (e.g., 23:59 + 1 minute = 00:00). For longer durations, try our Time Duration Calculator
