title: Date.prototype.getMilliseconds()
short-title: getMilliseconds()
slug: Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/getMilliseconds
page-type: javascript-instance-method
browser-compat: javascript.builtins.Date.getMilliseconds
sidebar: jsref
---
The **`getMilliseconds()`** method of {{jsxref("Date")}} instances returns the milliseconds for this date according to local time.
{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Date.prototype.getMilliseconds()", "shorter")}}
```js interactive-example
const moonLanding = new Date("July 20, 69 00:20:18");
moonLanding.setMilliseconds(123);
console.log(moonLanding.getMilliseconds());
// Expected output: 123
```
## Syntax
```js-nolint
getMilliseconds()
```
### Parameters
None.
### Return value
An integer, between 0 and 999, representing the milliseconds for the given date according to local time. Returns `NaN` if the date is [invalid](/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date#the_epoch_timestamps_and_invalid_date).
## Examples
### Using getMilliseconds()
The `milliseconds` variable has value `0`, based on the value of the {{jsxref("Date")}} object `xmas95`, which doesn't specify the milliseconds component, so it defaults to 0.
```js
const xmas95 = new Date("1995-12-25T23:15:30");
const milliseconds = xmas95.getMilliseconds();
console.log(milliseconds); // 0
```
