A minute is defined as exactly 60 seconds — a simple, fixed time conversion.
How it works
Multiplying minutes by 60 gives seconds; dividing seconds by 60 gives minutes back. Type into either field and the other updates instantly.
What this does not include
This does not include milliseconds — for that finer-grained conversion, use this site’s ms-to-seconds calculator instead.
How to use this calculator

Frequently asked questions
Where is this conversion most commonly needed?
Cooking timers, workout intervals, and reading video or audio durations given in seconds.
Can this handle fractional minutes?
Yes — entering 1.5 minutes converts to exactly 90 seconds, and any fractional value works the same way in both directions.
Is a minute always exactly 60 seconds?
Yes, for this kind of duration conversion — leap seconds are an extremely rare exception applied to civil timekeeping, not to plain duration arithmetic like this.
