How to convert years to months

A day here is a duration of 86,400 seconds. Unless explicitly labeled Julian, months and years use the mean Gregorian convention (365.2425 days per year; one twelfth per month), rather than the actual length of a particular calendar interval.

Formula
mo = yr × 12

One year is 12 months, so a single multiplication converts any value.

Example
120 mo = 10 × 12

Sources and precision

Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
