Conversion Formula
To convert months to days, multiply the number of months by the average number of days in a month. A year has 365 days and 12 months, so:
Average days per month = 365 ÷ 12 ≈ 30.3333 days
Then, the formula becomes:
days = months × 30.3333
This works because a month is not always 30 days; some months have 31 or 28/29 days. Using the average balances the variation over a year.
For example, converting 9 months:
- Multiply 9 by 30.3333
- 9 × 30.3333 = 273 days (approximate)
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 months to days:
- Multiply 5 × 30.3333
- 5 × 30.3333 = 151.6665 days
- Rounded to 151.67 days
- Convert 12 months to days:
- 12 × 30.3333 = 363.9996 days
- Rounded to 364 days, close to a full year
- Convert 0.5 months to days:
- 0.5 × 30.3333 = 15.16665 days
- Rounded to 15.17 days

Conversion Definitions
Months: A unit of time based on the lunar or calendar cycle, approximately 30 to 31 days long. Months are parts of a year, dividing it into 12 segments used for scheduling and measuring time intervals. Length varies slightly depending on the calendar system.
Days: The basic unit of time representing one full rotation of the Earth relative to the sun. A day lasts 24 hours, consisting of daytime and nighttime. Days are used for measuring time intervals shorter than months or years, fundamental for daily activities.
Conversion FAQs
Why isn’t 9 months exactly 270 days?
Many people assume a month is exactly 30 days, so 9 months would be 270 days. Yet, months vary from 28 to 31 days, so an average of about 30.3333 days per month gives a more accurate result of roughly 273 days for 9 months.
Does this conversion consider leap years?
The average month length used (30.3333 days) comes from a regular 365-day year. Leap years with 366 days slightly affect the average, but this small difference usually isn’t included in basic month-to-day conversions.
Is there a difference between calendar months and average months?
Yes, calendar months have varied days (28-31), while average months use a fixed decimal value (30.3333). For rough conversions, average months provide consistent results, but calendar months require counting exact days in each month.
Can I use 30 days per month for easier estimation?
Using 30 days per month is simpler but less precise. For 9 months, it would give 270 days, which is slightly under the actual average. For informal uses, it’s fine, but for accuracy, 30.3333 days per month is better.
How to convert fractional months into days?
Multiply the fractional month value by 30.3333. For example, 0.75 months equals 0.75 × 30.3333 ≈ 22.75 days. This method works for any decimal month value, giving an approximate day count.
