To convert a year measurement to a month measurement, multiply the time by the following conversion ratio: 12 months/year.

Since one year is equal to 12 months, you can use this simple formula to convert:

months = years × 12

The time in months is equal to the years multiplied by 12.

For example, here's how to convert 5 years to months using the formula above.
5 yr = (5 × 12) = 60 mo
