Complete Military-Time Conversion Chart: 0000–2359

This chart covers every hour of the day, from midnight through 11:00 PM. To convert a time that includes minutes, find the matching hour and keep the final two digits unchanged.

For example, 1645 corresponds to 4:45 PM because 1600 is 4:00 PM.

This chart covers each hour. The full range includes every minute from 0000-2359; the conversion rules below explain how to read times between the hourly examples.

How to Read Military-Time With Minutes

Military-time uses four digits: the first two represent the hour, and the last two represent the minutes. The minutes do not change when converting between military-time and standard time.

Use these examples to check times that fall between the hourly entries in the conversion chart.

For example, 0715 means 7:15 in the morning, while 1915 means 7:15 in the evening. Both use the same minutes; only the hour changes.

How to Convert Military-Time to Standard Time

Use the time’s hour to decide which conversion rule applies. The minutes stay the same throughout the conversion.

If you need to convert several times for work, travel, appointments, or shift planning, use the online converter instead of calculating each entry manually.

How to Convert Standard Time to Military-Time

Converting from AM/PM to military-time follows a few simple rules. The main task is to write the correct hour using four digits and preserve the minutes.

More Standard-to-Military-Time Examples

The key is to change the hour when required, not the minutes. A time such as 9:25 PM becomes 2125, not 0925 or 2129.

What Do 0000, 1200, and 2359 Mean?

These three times are especially important because they mark the beginning, middle, and final minute of a day.

You may also see 2400 used in some schedules to indicate the end of a particular day. In ordinary four-digit military-time conversion, the standard range ends at 2359, and 0000 marks the start of the next day.

Real-World Military-Time Examples

Military-time is useful when you need to interpret work schedules, travel information, appointments, logs, and deadlines.

Always check the date and time zone on travel itineraries and international schedules. Correctly converting the clock format does not, by itself, account for time-zone differences.

Common Military-Time Conversion Mistakes

A small mistake in the hour, minutes, or leading zero can produce a different time. Check these common errors before using a converted time in a schedule.

A quick check with the Calculator Online Pro converter can help confirm an unfamiliar time before you use it.

Military-Time Examples for Shift Duration and Overnight Work

When reading a shift schedule, remember that the end time may fall on the following day. Convert both clock times first, then account for the date change when calculating the total shift duration.

For overnight work, the end time is earlier on the clock but later on the calendar. Treating it as the same date can produce an incorrect duration.
