A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Enter a finite nonnegative amount and choose its unit.
  2. Choose 365 days or the 365.2425-day mean tropical year convention.
  3. Convert and read the equivalent fixed durations.

Fixed duration units

Seconds, minutes, hours, and days are elapsed durations: 60 seconds per minute, 60 minutes per hour, and 24 hours per day.

Selectable year convention

A year is not a calendar date interval. Choose exactly 365 days or the 365.2425-day mean tropical approximation; leap years, months, dates, and time zones are not inferred.

GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Does this calculate calendar dates?

No. It converts numeric durations only. Calendar dates and leap-day rules are outside the contract.

Which year convention should I use?

Use 365 days for a fixed business or planning duration, or 365.2425 days for the mean tropical-year approximation.

Are inputs sent anywhere?

No. The calculation runs locally in your browser.
