Converting Minutes to Milliseconds
When programming long delays or timeouts, you think in minutes but code in milliseconds. This conversion bridges that gap.
Session timeouts, token expirations, and polling intervals are all set in milliseconds — this tool gives you the exact value without counting zeros.
Common Use Cases
Session Timeouts
Token Expiration
Polling & Cache TTL
How to Convert Minutes to Milliseconds
Enter minutes
Type the minutes for your desired timeout.
See milliseconds
The exact ms value appears for your code.
Copy into your config
Paste the value into your timer or configuration.
The Formula
Examples
| Minutes | Value | Milliseconds |
|---|---|---|
| 5 minutes | 5 × 60,000 | 300,000 ms |
| 15 minutes | 15 × 60,000 | 900,000 ms |
| 30 minutes | 30 × 60,000 | 1,800,000 ms |
const SESSION_TIMEOUT = 900000; // 15 min
setTimeout(logout, SESSION_TIMEOUT);

Frequently Asked Questions
How many milliseconds is 1 minute?
1 minute equals 60,000 milliseconds.
What is 15 minutes in milliseconds?
15 minutes equals 900,000 milliseconds — a common session-timeout value.
How many milliseconds in 30 minutes?
30 minutes equals 1,800,000 milliseconds.
What is a good session timeout?
Typically 15–30 minutes (900,000–1,800,000 ms) for web apps. Banking apps may use shorter timeouts.
How do I set a 1-hour timer in milliseconds?
1 hour = 60 minutes = 3,600,000 milliseconds.
Why do configurations use milliseconds?
Milliseconds are the standard time unit in most programming languages and provide precision without floating-point numbers.
