Minutes to Milliseconds Converter
Convert time from minutes to milliseconds with this easy-to-use calculator. Enter a value in minutes below to get the equivalent in milliseconds.
How to Convert Minutes to Milliseconds
To convert minutes to milliseconds, multiply the number of minutes by 60,000:
This is because:
- 1 minute = 60 seconds
- 1 second = 1,000 milliseconds
- Therefore, 1 minute = 60 × 1,000 = 60,000 milliseconds

Understanding Minutes and Milliseconds
What is a Minute?
A minute is a unit of time equal to 60 seconds or 1/60 of an hour. It is a commonly used time unit in everyday life for measuring relatively short periods of time. The minute is an SI accepted unit for time measurement within the metric system and is abbreviated as “min”.
What is a Millisecond?
A millisecond is a very small unit of time equal to one thousandth (1/1,000) of a second. The prefix “milli-” in the metric system denotes a factor of one thousandth (10-3). Milliseconds are commonly used in scientific measurements, computing, and electronics where precise timing is necessary. The abbreviation for millisecond is “ms”.
How to Convert Minutes to Milliseconds
Conversion Formula
To convert minutes to milliseconds, you need to use the following formula:
Step-by-Step Conversion Process
- Start with your time value in minutes
- Multiply this value by 60 to convert to seconds (since 1 minute = 60 seconds)
- Multiply the result by 1,000 to convert seconds to milliseconds (since 1 second = 1,000 milliseconds)
- Alternatively, multiply the original minutes value directly by 60,000 (which is 60 × 1,000)
Example Calculation
Let’s convert 5 minutes to milliseconds:
milliseconds = 5 min × 60,000
milliseconds = 300,000 ms
Therefore, 5 minutes equals 300,000 milliseconds.
