How to Convert Unix Epoch Timestamps

Formula

days = floor(timestamp / 86400); years ≈ timestamp / 31,557,600

A Unix epoch timestamp counts the number of seconds since January 1, 1970 00:00:00 UTC. It is the standard time representation in most programming languages and databases.

This calculator converts a timestamp into days, hours, and approximate years since the epoch for quick reference.

Common use cases:

  • Debugging timestamps in server logs
  • Converting API response timestamps
  • Database timestamp analysis
