Time unit relationships
Seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks have fixed ratios: 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Months and years vary in length, so this converter uses averages: a year of 365.25 days (which accounts for leap years) and a month of one twelfth of that, 30.4375 days.
For an exact count between two calendar dates, use the date difference calculator instead.
Handy figures
