0000 starts a day. 2400 ends that day at the following midnight. This chart converts notation; it does not change time zones.

How to convert military time
Military notation usually writes a clock time as four digits: the first two are hours and the last two are minutes. 1730 means 17:30, or 5:30 PM. This converter also accepts three-digit morning times such as 730, and six digits when you include seconds.
From AM/PM to a 24-hour clock
For 1 AM through 11 AM, keep the hour. For 1 PM through 11 PM, add 12. Noon is 12:00 PM = 1200; midnight at the start of a day is 12:00 AM = 0000. Minutes and seconds stay the same.
Does 2400 mean today or tomorrow?
Here, 2400 and 24:00 mark the end of the stated day, which is 00:00 at the start of the following day. The result labels that boundary explicitly. Times such as 2401 and 24:30 are invalid; use the next day's 00:01 or 00:30.
Is military time the same as a time zone?
A clock format does not specify a time zone. Converting 1730 to 5:30 PM changes the notation only. Use the time-zone converter to compare cities or convert UTC. “Military time right now” reads this device's clock; its time zone appears alongside it.
