How to convert seconds to milliseconds
ms = s × 1,000
Example: 5 s × 1,000 = 5,000 ms

About these units
Seconds (s): The second is the SI base unit of time, defined by the caesium-133 atom’s radiation frequency.
Milliseconds (ms): A millisecond is one thousandth of a second, used for reaction times, network latency and computing.
Frequently asked questions
How many milliseconds are in 1 second?
1 second equals 1,000 milliseconds (ms).
How do I convert s to ms?
Multiply the value in seconds by 1,000. For example, 5 s × 1,000 = 5,000 ms.
How do I convert milliseconds back to seconds?
Multiply by 0.001 (or divide by 1,000). 1 ms = 0.001 s.
What is a second?
The second is the SI base unit of time, defined by the caesium-133 atom’s radiation frequency.
Conversion factors come from exact international definitions (NIST SP 811, BIPM) where they exist. Results show up to 10 significant digits. Need every time unit at once? Use the Time Converter.
