THE METHOD
How your result is calculated
Enter a clock time with a colon, such as 14:30 or 2:30 PM. This converter changes notation only. It does not convert time zones, dates, or daylight-saving transitions.
A worked example
2:30 PM becomes 14:30 (1430). 12:00 AM becomes 00:00 (0000); 12:00 PM stays 12:00 (1200).
We calculate clock time, not elapsed time across daylight-saving changes. Pay estimates exclude taxes and deductions. Read the full methodology →
