Convert Microsecond to Second

1 microsecond = 0.000001 second (s). Type any value below to convert microsecond to second both ways — it runs entirely in your browser.

Microsecond to Second conversion formula

To convert microsecond to second, multiply by 0.000001:

second = microsecond × 0.000001

Going the other way, 1 second = 1,000,000 microsecond, so microsecond = second × 1,000,000.

About microsecond and second

Microsecond: A microsecond is one-millionth of a second (1 s = 1,000,000 µs; 1 ms = 1,000 µs) — used for high-resolution timers and signal timing.

Second: The second is the SI base unit of time. Everyday durations, timeouts and stopwatch readings are usually measured in seconds.

Frequently asked questions

How many second are in 1 microsecond?
1 microsecond = 0.000001 second (s).
How do I convert microsecond to second?
Multiply the number of microsecond by 0.000001. For example, 10 microsecond = 10 × 0.000001 = 0.00001 second.
How many microsecond are in 1 second?
1 second = 1,000,000 microsecond.
Which is bigger, microsecond or second?
1 second equals 1,000,000 microsecond, so a second is the larger unit.
