Every hour of the day in both formats — standard 12-hour time beside military time, AM on the left and PM on the right.
Reading it
How the conversion works
Before noon the hour is the same — you only add a leading zero, so 9:00 AM is 09:00. From 1:00 PM onwards you add 12 to the hour, so 3:00 PM is 15:00. Midnight is 00:00 and noon is 12:00.
Minutes never change. Whatever the minutes are in one format, they are the same in the other: 6:45 PM is 18:45.
Answers
Frequently asked questions
What time is 1500 in military time?
1500 is 3:00 PM. On this chart, that hour's row reads 15:00, with 1500 beneath it. For any military time from 1300 to 2359, subtract 12 from the hour: 15 − 12 = 3, so 1600 is 4:00 PM and 2000 is 8:00 PM.
How do I convert PM times to military time?
Add 12 to the hour and drop the AM/PM. 3:00 PM becomes 15:00, or 1500 in compact military notation. The one exception is noon: 12:00 PM is already 12:00, so nothing is added.
Is midnight 0000 or 2400?
Both name the same moment. 00:00, or 0000, starts a new day; 24:00, or 2400, marks midnight at the end of the day it closes. A shift can end at 2400 while the next one starts at 0000.
Do the minutes change in military time?
No. Minutes are identical in both systems — 3:27 PM is 15:27. Only the hour changes, which is why this chart only needs to list the hours.
How do you say military time out loud?
On the hour reads as hundreds: 0900 is “zero nine hundred”, 1500 is “fifteen hundred”. With minutes you read both pairs — 1545 is “fifteen forty-five”. Adding “hours” at the end is common but optional.
Is military time the same as 24-hour time?
It is the same clock. The chart shows both ways of writing it: colon-form 24-hour time (15:45), and the compact military form that drops the colon and keeps the leading zero (1545, or 0600 for 6:00 AM).
