What is 1330 in military time?

1330 is 1:30 PM, and it is said "thirteen thirty". Anything from 1300 onwards is an afternoon or evening time: take 12 off the hour and you have the 12-hour clock reading, so 1330 is half past one in the afternoon.

How do I convert a PM time to military time?

Add 12 to the hour and drop the colon: 2:35 PM is 1435, 7 PM is 1900. Midday is the exception that catches people, because 12 PM is 1200 and not 0000: 12:00 PM converts to 1200, said "twelve hundred".

How do I convert an AM time?

The hour is the same number, padded to two digits: 9:05 AM is 0905, said "zero nine zero five". Midnight is the one that moves: 12 AM is 0000, because the 12-hour clock counts 12 before 1 rather than after it.

Why does this chart show half hours?

Because the whole hours are the easy half of the question and the spoken form changes at the half hour. A whole hour is said as a hundred, so 1300 is thirteen hundred, but 1330 is not: it goes back to being read as two numbers, thirteen thirty. A chart that stops at the hour never shows that.

Where is 2400 in the chart?

The table is written with midnight as 0000, the start of the day, and it stays that way. 2400 is the same instant named from the other end, the last minute of the day before, and the Midnight control above switches the converter to it: midnight then comes out as 2400, said "twenty-four hundred hours", and no other time of day moves.

Do I need to write the word hours?

Not in writing. The digits carry it: 1430 is enough, and 1430 hours is spoken usage rather than written form. In the spoken column the word turns up only at midnight, which is why the top row reads zero hundred hours while 1300 is just thirteen hundred.

Military Time Chart

The whole day at half-hour steps, from 0000 to 2330, with the 12-hour time and the spoken form beside each one, and the converter above opened on 1330 so you can see a worked row: 1:30 PM, said "thirteen thirty". Hourly charts skip the half hours, which is where the spoken form stops being a hundred and starts being two numbers. Type any time into the box to go outside the table: it reads 1435, 14:35, 2:35 PM and the word noon.

Midnight as the start of the day, which is how a clock face and most schedules write it.

0000 and 2400 are the same instant, named from opposite ends. 0000 is the first minute of a day and 2400 is the last minute of the day before it, so a watch that ends at 2400 Monday and one that starts at 0000 Tuesday change over together. Which spelling is correct depends on the unit or the roster, which is why it is a control here rather than a decision this page made for you: it moves midnight and nothing else. The 12-hour clock is the half that trips people up, because it counts 12 before 1 rather than after it. That is what makes 12:00 AM midnight and 12:00 PM midday, and why 1200 is the middle of the day and not the start of it.

Military time at every half hour

Every row is the converter's own output, so the chart cannot drift from the tool above it. The tool page carries the same table at whole hours only; the half-hour rows are here because that is where the spoken form changes from a hundred to two numbers.

Exact for every time of day. Midnight is written 0000 or 2400 depending on the convention selected, and the spoken form follows the US military style; civilian 24-hour clocks say the same numbers with a colon.
