About Military Time Calculator

The Military Time Calculator is a free and user-friendly online tool that helps you quickly convert standard 12-hour time (AM/PM) to military time (24-hour format) and vice versa. Whether you're in the military, aviation, healthcare, or simply want a clear way to avoid AM/PM confusion, this calculator delivers accurate results in seconds.

What Is Military Time?

Military time uses the 24-hour clock, where the day starts at 00:00 (midnight) and ends at 23:59. Unlike the 12-hour clock, it eliminates the need for AM and PM, making timekeeping clearer and more precise.

✔ Examples:
1:00 AM → 0100 hours
1:00 PM → 1300 hours
11:30 PM → 2330 hours

Conversion Formula

Standard to Military Time:
• If time is in AM, remove "AM" (except 12 AM → 00).
• If time is in PM, add 12 hours (except 12 PM → 12).

Military to Standard Time:
• If time is between 0000–1159, it’s AM.
• If time is between 1200–2359, subtract 12 hours and mark PM.
