  • 2 minutes = 120 seconds
  • 5 minutes = 300 seconds
  • 10 minutes = 600 seconds
  • 15 minutes = 900 seconds
  • 30 minutes = 1,800 seconds
  • 60 minutes = 3,600 seconds

How It Works

Understanding the conversion

Because one minute contains exactly 60 seconds, you convert from minutes to seconds by multiplying by 60. The logic flows naturally: if there are 60 seconds per minute, then for any number of minutes you just multiply that count by 60 to find the total seconds.

This is particularly handy in programming, where many timing functions (countdown timers, session expiry, cache TTL, sleep/delay functions) expect their input in seconds. Knowing that 5 minutes = 300 seconds or 30 minutes = 1,800 seconds is a quick mental conversion that comes up constantly.

2 minutes × 60 = 120 seconds. The same formula works for any value: 5 min = 300 s, 10 min = 600 s, 0.5 min = 30 s.

Because there are exactly 60 seconds in one minute. Multiplying the number of minutes by 60 tells you the total number of seconds across all those minutes.

Yes. 1.5 × 60 = 90 seconds. Any decimal minute value works the same way — just multiply by 60 and you'll get the correct second count.

5 minutes = 300 s (common for short timeouts), 15 minutes = 900 s (session length), 30 minutes = 1,800 s (cache TTL), 60 minutes = 3,600 s (one hour in Unix time calculations).
