How to Convert Arcminutes to Angular Mils
To convert arcminutes to angular mils, multiply the angle by the following conversion ratio: 0.2962963 angular mils/minute of arc.
Since one minute of arc is equal to 0.2962963 angular mils, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The angle in angular mils is equal to the angle in arcminutes multiplied by 0.2962963.
For example, here's how to convert 5 arcminutes to angular mils using the formula above.
How Many Angular Mils Are in a Minute of Arc?
There are 0.2962963 angular mils in a minute of arc, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

Arcminutes and angular mils are both units used to measure angle. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Minute of Arc?
A minute of arc is a unit of angle equal to 1/60 of a degree (0.0166667 °). 1/60 of a degree. [1]
The minute of arc is classified as a standard unit of angle. Arcminutes can be abbreviated as ′; for example, 1 minute of arc can be written as 1 ′.
When working with arcminutes (′) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, arcminutes (′) are widely used across standard angle applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is an Angular Mil?
An angular mil is a unit of angle equal to 0.05625 degrees (°), the base unit for angle. Artillery & compass angle unit (6,400 mils = 360°, 1 mil = 0.05625°). [2]
The angular mil is classified as a standard unit of angle. Angular Mils can be abbreviated as mil; for example, 1 angular mil can be written as 1 mil.
When working with angular mils (mil) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, angular mils (mil) are widely used across standard angle applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting angle between arcminutes (′) and angular mils (mil), keep full floating-point precision (1 ′ = 0.2962963 mil; 1 mil = 3.375 ′) during intermediate calculations and round only the final angular mil figure to match your instrument tolerance.
