How to Convert to Military Time

Formula

Military time uses a 24-hour clock where hours range from 0 to 23. To convert PM times, add 12 to the hour (except 12 PM stays 12). For AM times, the hour stays the same (except 12 AM becomes 0).

This converter takes a 12-hour format input and returns the 24-hour military time equivalent.

Common use cases:

  • Military and aviation time conversions
  • International travel schedules
  • 24-hour schedule planning
