Minutes do not change, only the hour does. Examples: 0015 = 12:15 AM · 0945 = 9:45 AM · 1230 = 12:30 PM · 1330 = 1:30 PM · 2359 = 11:59 PM
Minutes quick reference
:00 · :15 · :30 · :45 → 1400 = 2:00 PM · 1415 = 2:15 PM · 1430 = 2:30 PM · 1445 = 2:45 PM
How to convert 12-hour time to 24-hour time (and back)
12-hour to 24-hour: AM keeps the hour (12 AM becomes 00). PM adds 12 (12 PM stays 12). Write the hour and minutes as four digits.
3:45 PM → 3 + 12 = 15 → 1545
24-hour to 12-hour: 00 becomes 12 AM, 01–11 stay AM, 12 is 12 PM, and 13–23 subtract 12 and use PM.
1830 → 18 − 12 = 6 → 6:30 PM

How it works
- Is military time the same as 24-hour time?
- Yes. In the US, "military time" is the everyday name for the 24-hour clock. It is usually written as four digits without a colon (1530) and spoken with "hundred hours" on the hour (fifteen hundred hours).
- What is 6 PM in military time?
- 6 PM is 1800. Add 12 to any PM hour from 1 to 11: 6 + 12 = 18. So 6:30 PM is 1830 and 11 PM is 2300.
- How do I read military time?
- The first two digits are the hour (00–23) and the last two are minutes (00–59). There is no AM or PM and usually no colon: 0600 is 6:00 AM and 1830 is 6:30 PM. On the hour it is said as "hundred", for example "zero six hundred hours".
- Is midnight 0000 or 2400?
- Midnight at the start of a day is 0000, and the chart uses 0000. Some schedules write 2400 to mark the end of a day; it is the same moment as 0000 of the next day. The last minute of a day is 2359.
- How do I convert PM to military time?
- For 1 PM to 11 PM, add 12 to the hour: 3:15 PM becomes 1515. 12 PM (noon) stays 1200, and 12 AM (midnight) becomes 0000. To go back, subtract 12 from any hour 13–23.
