1300 Military Time Is 1:00 PM

By Sohail Manzoor · Updated

1300 = 1:00 PM

Thirteen hundred

1300 in military time is 1:00 PM in standard time. Going the other way, 1 PM is written 1300. You say it “thirteen hundred” or “thirteen hundred hours”.

How to convert 1300 to standard time

The hour 13 is more than 12, so take 12 away. 13 minus 12 is 1. Keep the minutes and add PM, and you get 1:00 PM. To go back from 1 PM, add 12 to the hour. 1 plus 12 is 13, which gives 1300.

Where you see 1300

1300 is the first time of the day where you take 12 off the hour. A 1300 meeting is the 1 PM slot, usually the first one after lunch.

The last two digits are minutes, and they never change when you convert. Only the hour does, so every time from 1300 to 1359 sits in the 1 PM hour.
