To convert decades to minutes, use the fact that 1 decade = 10 years. Then change years into days, hours, and minutes.
Decade to minutes conversion (using 365-day years):
Formula:
Example:
If you use 365.25 days per year (to account for leap years), then:
A decade is 10 years. The minutes in a decade depend on how many leap years fall in those 10 years.
There isn’t one exact number for all decades. A decade can include different counts of leap years, which changes the total minutes.
Common totals:
Most 10-year spans have 2 or 3 leap years.
Convert decades to years, then to days, then to minutes.
1 decade = 10 years
Minutes = decades × 10 × days per year × 24 × 60
Use:
Leap years add one extra day. One day equals 1,440 minutes (24 × 60).
Each leap year inside your 10-year span adds 1,440 minutes to the total.
0.5 decades = 5 years.
2 decades = 20 years.
Leap years in that 20-year span can change the total.
A decade is always 10 years by definition. The minutes still vary because calendar years can be 365 or 366 days, based on leap year rules.
Most 10-year spans include 2 or 3 leap years. It depends on the start and end dates.
Leap year rule:
Count the days in each year inside the span:
Total minutes = total days × 24 × 60
This method gives the most accurate result for real dates.
They usually mean the same thing. The only time you’ll see a difference is if someone uses:
A 365-day year has 525,600 minutes.
A decade of 365-day years is: 10 × 525,600 = 5,256,000 minutes
Each leap year adds 1,440 minutes.
Minutes = 5,256,000 + (2 × 1,440) = 5,258,880 minutes
Minutes = 5,256,000 + (3 × 1,440) = 5,260,320 minutes
Yes. For long-term averages, many use 365.2425 days per year.
1 decade in minutes = 10 × 365.2425 × 24 × 60 = 5,259,492 minutes (about)
This is a good average, but it won’t match every real decade.
Hours and minutes don’t change the count. The only thing that changes is the number of days. Once you know the total days, the conversion is exact:
Total minutes = total days × 1,440
The Calculate Box tool to convert decades to minutes uses the open source script Convert.js to convert units of measurement. To use this tool, simply type a decades value in the box and have it instantly converted to minutes.
