Converting in your head

Only the hour changes; the minutes stay the same.

  • 1 PM to 11:59 PM: add 12 to the hour. 2:45 PM → 1445.
  • 1 AM to 11:59 AM: keep the hour, with a leading zero. 7:05 AM → 0705.
  • Noon hour: stays 12. 12:30 PM → 1230.
  • Midnight hour: becomes 00. 12:30 AM → 0030.

Going the other way, subtract 12 from any hour above 12 and add PM: 2130 → 9:30 PM.

Out loud, leading zeros are spoken and whole hours use “hundred”: 0705 is “zero seven zero five”, 1400 is “fourteen hundred”.

Military time vs 24-hour time

They’re the same clock written two ways. Military time drops the colon and is often followed by “hours” (1830 hours); everyday 24-hour time, used across the UK and Europe, keeps it (18:30). Midnight can be 0000, the start of a day, or 2400, the end of one, so a late shift might run 1600 to 2400.

Frequently asked questions

What is 1500 in military time?
3:00 PM. Subtract 12 from the hour: 15 − 12 = 3.
What is 7 PM in military time?
1900. Add 12 to the hour: 7 + 12 = 19.
What is 15 minutes in military time?
On a 24-hour clock, minutes don’t change: 12:15 AM is 0015 and 3:15 PM is 1515. On timesheets, “military minutes” often means decimal hours, where 15 minutes is 0.25; see the minutes to decimal chart.
How do you say 0800 in military time?
“Zero eight hundred”. Whole hours use “hundred”, so 1300 is “thirteen hundred”.
