Read the same clock time in two formats
A 24 hour clock counts from 00:00 to 23:59. The AM and PM format repeats the hour numbers after noon. The converter changes the notation, not the time zone.
Military notation on this page removes the colon from the 24 hour reading. Decimal hours show how far the chosen clock time is from midnight.
How to use this tool
- Enter a clock time in the time field.
- Read the AM or PM result.
- Use the military notation or decimal result if needed.
Example
14:30 is 2:30 PM. Its military notation is 1430, and it is 14.5 hours after midnight.
