Epoch Clock
The current Unix epoch time, updating live every second — shown in seconds and milliseconds, alongside the matching UTC and local date. Handy for developers and anyone who needs the moment right now.
About epoch time
Epoch time (Unix time) counts the seconds elapsed since 00:00 UTC on 1 January 1970, with no time zone attached. It is the way most systems store the current moment, because a single integer is easy to compare, sort and transmit.
The big number below is the live count of seconds; the millisecond value is the same instant times one thousand, which is what JavaScript and many APIs use.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current epoch time?
It is the number shown live above — the count of seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC, increasing by one every second.
What is the difference between seconds and milliseconds?
Classic Unix time is in seconds (ten digits today). Milliseconds multiply that by 1,000 (thirteen digits) and are common in JavaScript and web APIs.
Is epoch time the same everywhere?
Yes. Epoch time has no time zone, so the value is identical worldwide at any given instant — only the human-readable date differs by zone.
