    Result

    1500 military time is 3:00 PM in regular 12-hour time — the middle of the standard afternoon. The rule for any time after noon is simple: subtract 12 from the hour figure, so 15 − 12 = 3, and because the result lands after midday it takes PM.

    You will meet 1500 in duty rosters, flight and ferry schedules, hospital charts and international meeting invitations, where the 24-hour clock removes any AM/PM ambiguity. Spoken aloud in military style it is "fifteen hundred"; written forms 1500 and 15:00 mean exactly the same minute.

    This page opens the converter with 1500 already converted, so the answer is on screen immediately. Change the input to check any other time — the tool accepts 1500, 15:00 or 3:00 PM, converts in both directions, and the 24-row chart below the form lists every hour from 0000 to 2300. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is stored.

    Accepted Formats & Rules

    • Two-way conversion between 24-hour military and 12-hour AM/PM time.
    • Flexible parsing: 1730, 17:30, 930, 5:30 PM and bare hours all work.
    • Built-in 24-hour reference chart with midnight and noon notes.

    Key Benefits

    ✓ Converts both ways: military (24-hour) to regular 12-hour AM/PM time, and AM/PM time back to the four-digit military format.
    ✓ Forgiving input — type 1730, 17:30 or 5:30 PM and the parser understands it, flagging midnight (0000) and noon (1200) explicitly.
    ✓ Full 24-row reference chart from 0000 to 2300 rendered right on the page, so you can double-check any hour at a glance.

    Use Cases

    • • Instantly read a military time from a duty roster, flight plan or hospital chart as regular 12-hour AM/PM time.
    • • Write an appointment or shift given as 5:30 PM in the four-digit 24-hour format that schedules and logs expect.
    • • Settle the midnight and noon confusion for good: 0000 is 12:00 AM and 1200 is 12:00 PM, both flagged explicitly with a full 24-row chart to double-check.
