About the wk to min calculation
One week is exactly 10,080 minutes, so converting between them is a single multiplication. Enter any value above and the result updates as you type. Seven days, or 604,800 seconds. The only common time unit with no astronomical basis. Sixty seconds. The minute and the hour are the last widely used non-decimal units in science.
Formula
min = wk × 10,080
1 wk = 10,080 min
1 min = 0.00009921 wkWorked example
To convert 4 wk, multiply by 10,080: 4 × 10,080 = 40,320 min.
Frequently asked questions
How many minutes are in a week?
There are 10,080 minutes in one week. To convert any amount, multiply the number of weeks by 10,080.
How do I convert minutes back to weeks?
Divide instead of multiplying, or equivalently multiply by 0.00009921. One minute is 0.00009921 weeks.
Is this conversion exact?
For seconds through weeks, yes — they are fixed multiples. The year is the mean Gregorian year of 365.2425 days, which is an average rather than the length of any particular calendar year.
Where is each of these units used?
Weeks: seven days, or 604,800 seconds. The only common time unit with no astronomical basis. Minutes: sixty seconds. The minute and the hour are the last widely used non-decimal units in science.
