The 24-hour clock, also known as military time, tells time by dividing the day into 24-hour increments, numbered 0000 to 2400. Military time differs from standard time, which uses numbers 1 through 12 and an a.m./p.m. designation to indicate time.

For example, 3:00 on a 12-hour clock could be 3:00 a.m. or 3:00 p.m. In military time, 3:00 a.m. is 0300, while 3:00 p.m. is 1500.

How to Manually Convert Military Time

Manually converting military time isn’t difficult but requires basic math, as outlined above. Let’s do an example.

To convert military time to standard time, take the number of hours and subtract 12. For example, 1300 = 13 hours. Take 13 – 12, which equals one or 1:00 p.m. For 1400, it’s 14 – 12, which equals two, or 2:00 p.m. Keep in mind this only applies to time after 1200 hours.

If you’re converting standard time to military, it’s the opposite. Add 12 instead of subtract, and you’ll have military time. For example, 4:00 p.m. to military time is 4 + 12, which equals 16 or 1600 hours. 

Common Questions About Military Time

Below are common questions about calculating military time.

Does military time use a colon to separate hours and minutes?

No, military time does not contain a colon or separator. For example, 5:00 a.m. standard time is written as 0500, not 05:00.

Is military time common outside of the U.S.?

Yes. The 24-hour clock is common in other countries for the same reason the U.S. military utilizes it: it prevents ambiguity and confusion, especially in high-stress environments. In many countries, the 24-hour clock is the primary method of telling time.

Does the military observe Daylight Savings Time?

Sometimes. The military observes Daylight Savings Time when it is recognized by the state or country where the time zone is being used.

How does the military identify time zones?

The military divided the world into 24 time zones and utilized the phonetic alphabet to identify each time zone. Learn more about military time zones here.

Are minutes and seconds counted differently in military time?

No. Standard and military time express minutes and seconds in the same format. For example, 20:20 military time is 8:20 p.m. using a 12-hour clock notation. It is 20:20 (spelled out using two-zero-two-zero) using a 24-hour clock notation. Thus, 20:20 military time means that it has been 20 hours and 20 minutes since last midnight.
