How to Convert Seconds to Milliseconds

To convert from seconds (s) to milliseconds (ms), you multiply the number of seconds by 1,000. This is because 1 second is equal to 1,000 milliseconds.

Formula

Milliseconds = Seconds × 1,000

or

ms = s × 1,000

Step-by-step process

  1. Take the measurement in seconds
  2. Multiply that number by 1,000
  3. The result is the equivalent time in milliseconds

Examples

  • 1 s = 1 × 1,000 = 1,000 ms
  • 2 s = 2 × 1,000 = 2,000 ms
