Minutes to Milliseconds
Type a value in either box to convert between minutes and milliseconds. The factor is 60000.
| Minutes | Milliseconds |
|---|---|
| 1 min | 60000 ms |
| 2 min | 120000 ms |
| 3 min | 180000 ms |
| 5 min | 300000 ms |
| 10 min | 600000 ms |
| 25 min | 1500000 ms |
| 50 min | 3000000 ms |
| 100 min | 6000000 ms |
How to use
- Enter a value in the Minutes field.
- The Milliseconds figure appears immediately — no button to press.
- Typing in the Milliseconds field converts back to Minutes the same way.
- Use the reference table for the values that come up most often.
Minutes to Milliseconds formula
The factor from minutes to milliseconds is 60000.
ms = min × 60000
Put another way, one minute is exactly 60,000 milliseconds.
Why this factor: the minute and the millisecond are both defined against the second, so dividing one definition by the other gives 60000 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 60000 — or use the Milliseconds to Minutes converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example
Given 15 min, multiplying by 60000 yields 900000 ms.
15 min × 60000 = 900000 ms
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.
What is a minute?
A minute is sixty seconds, the base unit of everyday scheduling.
Definition: Exactly 60 seconds. Accepted for use with SI, inherited from Babylonian base-60 counting.
Where it is used: Clock time, meeting lengths, cooking times, and travel durations.
What is a millisecond?
A millisecond is one thousandth of a second, the unit of perceptible computing delay.
Definition: Exactly 0.001 second by SI prefix definition.
Where it is used: Network latency and ping times, audio buffer sizes, and animation and reaction timings.
Minutes vs Milliseconds
The minute is a specialized unit while the millisecond is a metric unit. That is why the factor between them is not a round number: the two systems were defined independently and only later tied together by exact agreement.
Frequently asked questions
