How to use the chart

Find the military hour in the left column and read across for the standard 12-hour time. Minutes carry over unchanged: 1745 is 5:45 PM because 1700 is 5:00 PM. Midnight is written 0000 (or 2400 at the end of a schedule) and noon is 1200, those two rows are where most misreads happen.

Need a specific value or an odd number of minutes? The military time converter converts any time in either direction as you type.

Frequently asked questions

Click "Print chart" (or press Ctrl/Cmd-P). The print layout strips the site chrome and produces a clean one-page reference. The FAQ and navigation don't print.

For hours 13 and above, subtract 12 and add PM: 1730 → 5:30 PM. Hours 00 through 11 are AM (0000 is 12:00 AM, midnight); 12xx is PM. Or just type either form into the converter above. Both directions update as you type.

Both mean midnight. 0000 is the start of a day and 2400 marks the end of the previous day, schedules use 2400 for "until end of day". The converter accepts both and reads them as 12:00 AM.

Read the digits as hundreds: 0800 is "zero eight hundred", 1730 is "seventeen thirty", 0030 is "zero zero thirty". No AM or PM is spoken. The whole point is that the hour is unambiguous.
