How the minutes-to-seconds converter works

A stopwatch face divided into equal second marks

Enter a duration in minutes or seconds. The matching value appears in the other field, and the center control reverses the direction.

The exact conversion factor

A minute always contains 60 seconds, so the conversion uses one fixed relationship:

1\,\mathrm{min}=60\,\mathrm{s}

Multiply minutes by 60. To return from seconds to decimal minutes, divide by 60.

These values are handy for exercise intervals, recipe timers and short media clips.

1.30 minutes means 1 minute plus 0.30 of a minute, or 78 seconds. A clock reading of 1:30 means 90 seconds, which is 1.5 minutes.

The converter changes units only. It does not subtract pauses, interpret timestamps or apply rounding rules from a sport, workplace or service.

Use the factor 60 for whole numbers and decimals in either direction.

There are exactly 60 seconds in one minute.

3 minutes equal 180 seconds.

45 seconds is 0.75 minute.

Combine the duration as 140 seconds, or enter about 2.333333 minutes.

No. It converts minutes and seconds; fractional seconds can still be entered as a decimal.
