To convert years to seconds, multiply by 31557600.
The calculation uses 1 yr = 31557600 s. Results are displayed to at most 10 significant digits. Definitions can be exact while a displayed decimal is rounded. Match the displayed precision to your original measurement.
Uses the Julian year of 365.25 days, not a particular calendar year.
The formula
value in s = value in yr × 31557600
yr- Input unit: years
s- Output unit: seconds
How to use this calculator
- Enter a value in yr.
- Multiply by the stored conversion factor.
- Read the result in s; divide by the same factor to convert back.
