Punch0000 Military Time
0000 hours is 12:00 AM standard time — said out loud, “zero hundred hours.” Before noon, the numbers match the regular clock: 0000 is simply 12:00 AM.
00:00–00:59 by the quarter hour
| Military | Standard |
|---|---|
| 0000 | 12:00 AM |
| 0015 | 12:15 AM |
| 0030 | 12:30 AM |
| 0045 | 12:45 AM |
Minutes never convert — only the hour does. Any minute works the same way: 0007 is 12:07 AM, 0052 is 12:52 AM. For any other time, the military time converter takes both directions.
Where 0000 shows up
Midnight is where 24-hour time earns its keep: 0000 starts the new day, and a shift that ends “at midnight” is usually written 2400 on the previous day's line. Same moment, two labels — payroll systems almost always store it as 0000.
Common questions
What time is 0000 military time?
0000 hours is 12:00 AM standard time. Morning hours read the same on both clocks, so there's nothing to convert.
How do you say 0000 out loud?
“Zero hundred” or “zero hundred hours.” Whole hours are read as hundreds; with minutes you read both pairs — 0030 is “zero thirty.”
Is midnight 0000 or 2400?
Both exist: 0000 starts the new day and is what timekeeping systems store; 2400 occasionally marks the end of the previous day, like a shift that finishes at midnight. Same moment either way.
