How to say military time
- 1700
- “seventeen hundred hours”
- 0800
- “zero eight hundred, or oh eight hundred”
- 1330
- “thirteen thirty”
- 0905
- “zero nine zero five”
- 0000
- “zero hundred, or midnight”
On the hour, say "hundred," often followed by "hours." Otherwise read the two pairs of digits. The same clock written with a colon, as in 17:45, is called 24-hour time.
Midnight and noon: 0000, 2400 and 1200
Midnight
0000 = 12:00 AM
0000 starts the day. Some schedules write 2400 for midnight at the end of a day, so Monday 2400 and Tuesday 0000 are the same moment. The next minute is 0001, never 2401.
Noon
1200 = 12:00 PM
Noon is 1200, said "twelve hundred." It stays 12 because only 12 AM changes, to 00. 1230 is 12:30 PM.

Military time on a time card
Time clocks often print punches in 24-hour time. Subtract them as hours and minutes, with no AM or PM to track.
Your card shows In 0645 and Out 1515, with a 30-minute unpaid lunch.
- Time between
- 15:15 − 6:45 = 8:30
- Lunch
- − 0:30
- Hours worked
- 8:00 (8.00 hours)
If Out is smaller than In, the shift crossed midnight: 2230 to 0700 is 1:30 before midnight plus 7:00 after, or 8:30. The hours calculator and the time card calculator handle these shifts, and the decimal hours chart converts the result for payroll.
When the clock also prints lunch punches, the time card calculator with lunch takes four times a day, and a printable time card has room to copy them by hand.

Z stands for Zulu time, the military name for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). 1400Z is 1400 UTC, which is 10:00 AM in New York during daylight saving time (UTC−4) and 9:00 AM in winter (UTC−5).
How do I convert army time to EST?
Army time is a way of writing the clock, not a time zone, so 1700 on a schedule in New York is 5:00 PM Eastern. Convert only a time marked Z, which is UTC: subtract 5 hours for Eastern Standard Time and 4 for Eastern Daylight Time. 1700Z is 12:00 PM EST or 1:00 PM EDT.
How do I add hours to a military time?
Add the hours and minutes. If the result is 2400 or more, subtract 24 hours and move to the next day: 2200 plus 8 hours is 3000, so 0600 the next morning. To add up many durations, use the time calculator.
