Minutes to Seconds
A minute is 60 seconds, the everyday unit for timers, cooking times, and short durations. The second is the SI base unit of time, defined by the oscillation frequency of a cesium-133 atom. 1 min equals 60 s, so converting between them is a matter of multiplying by that fixed factor — type any value into the converter below and both sides update instantly as you type.
Both units belong to time, measured here against time's base unit (s) — every other time unit on this site converts through that same reference point, which is why the table below can also be read as a quick cross-check against nearby values.
Formula
s = min × 60
min = s × ≈0.0166667
Worked example: 5 min × 60 = 300 s.
