How Our Calculator Works

Our calculator performs the conversion using standard time units:

• 1 minute = 60 seconds
• 1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds
• 1 day = 24 hours = 1,440 minutes = 86,400 seconds
• 1 week = 7 days = 168 hours = 10,080 minutes = 604,800 seconds
• 1 month ≈ 30 days = 720 hours = 43,200 minutes = 2,592,000 seconds
• 1 year = 365 days = 8,760 hours = 525,600 minutes = 31,536,000 seconds

For most conversions, we use standard definitions (60 seconds in a minute, 24 hours in a day, etc.). For months and years, we use the common approximations of 30 days per month and 365 days per year for simplicity, though actual calendar months vary in length and leap years have 366 days.
