Unix Timestamp Converter

Convert a Unix timestamp back into a calendar date and time.

About Unix Timestamp Converter

Dividing by the seconds in a day separates the date from the time, then the day count is walked forward through years and months. Applying the offset afterwards gives local time. Timestamps are always UTC, so the offset must be applied at display time rather than stored, which is what keeps records correct across daylight saving changes.

Formula

Unix Timestamp

Days = ⌊timestamp ÷ 86,400⌋; the remainder gives the time within the day

UTC offset
Hours to add to reach local time

Worked example

With the default values below, Unix Timestamp Converter returns Calendar Date in UTC of 2025-06-15. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

  • The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
  • In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
  • Figures are rounded for display to whole numbers, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Unix Timestamp calculated?

Days = ⌊timestamp ÷ 86,400⌋; the remainder gives the time within the day Dividing by the seconds in a day separates the date from the time, then the day count is walked forward through years and months. Applying the offset afterwards gives local time.

Why does Unix Timestamp matter?

Timestamps are always UTC, so the offset must be applied at display time rather than stored, which is what keeps records correct across daylight saving changes.

What values do I need to enter?

This calculator takes 2 inputs: Unix timestamp, Local UTC offset. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
