How to convert standard time to military time
Short answer: AM hours stay almost as-is (just pad with a zero); PM hours add 12. 9:30 AM → 0930. 3:00 PM → 1500. The only specials: 12:00 AM → 0000, 12:00 PM → 1200.
- For AM times (12:00 AM–11:59 AM): drop the AM, write the hour as two digits. 9:30 AM → 0930. The one exception: 12:xx AM becomes 00xx — 12:30 AM → 0030.
- For PM times (12:00 PM–11:59 PM): add 12 to the hour, drop the PM. 3:00 PM → 1500, 11:45 PM → 2345. Noon itself stays 1200.
- Remove the colon. Military time is written as four digits: 0930, not 09:30.
AM: military hour = hour % 12 (12 AM → 0)
PM: military hour = (hour % 12) + 12 (12 PM → 12)
Examples: 1:30 PM → 1330 · 12:00 AM → 0000 · 8:00 PM → 2000
PM: military hour = (hour % 12) + 12 (12 PM → 12)
Examples: 1:30 PM → 1330 · 12:00 AM → 0000 · 8:00 PM → 2000
How to read military time
Short answer: say the hour then "hundred hours" — 1300 is "thirteen hundred hours", 0700 is "zero seven hundred hours". With minutes, say hour then minutes: 1330 is "thirteen thirty".
Reading military time out loud follows one pattern:
- On the hour: hour + "hundred hours". 1500 → "fifteen hundred hours". Hours before 10 get a "zero": 0600 → "zero six hundred hours".
- With minutes: hour + minutes, no "hundred". 1545 → "fifteen forty-five". 0905 → "zero nine oh-five".
- Midnight: 0000 → "zero hundred hours". 2400 is also accepted for midnight at the end of a day.
The converter above pronounces every result for you — try 1730 or 0000.
Military time calculator
Short answer: a military time calculator converts 24-hour times back to the 12-hour clock — subtract 12 from any hour 13–23 and add PM. 1800 → 6:00 PM. Switch the tool above to "Military → standard".
Going from military time to standard time:
- 0000–0059: 12:xx AM (midnight hour). 0030 → 12:30 AM.
- 0100–1159: same hour + AM. 0945 → 9:45 AM.
- 1200–1259: same hour + PM. 1215 → 12:15 PM.
- 1300–2359: subtract 12, add PM. 2000 → 8:00 PM, 2315 → 11:15 PM.
Frequently asked questions
What is 1300 in military time?
1:00 PM. For any military hour from 1300 to 2359, subtract 12: 13 − 12 = 1 PM. Enter 1300 in the converter above and it also shows the pronunciation: "thirteen hundred hours."

Midnight — 12:00 AM, the start of the day. You may also see midnight written as 2400, which means the end of the day. Both refer to the same moment.

What is military time?
Military time is the 24-hour clock written as four digits with no colon and no AM/PM. The day runs 0000 (midnight) to 2359. Morning hours match the 12-hour clock (9:30 AM = 0930); afternoon and evening hours add 12 (3:00 PM = 1500). It removes all AM/PM ambiguity, which is why the military, hospitals, aviation and emergency services use it.
