1 month is 0.083333 yr. One month is exactly 0.0833333333333 years.

One month is 0.083333333 years. To convert months to years, multiply by 0.083333333; to go the other way, divide by 0.083333333 or multiply by 12. This one is an average rather than an exact factor: a calendar month is 28 to 31 days, so this figure is an average and not the span between two particular dates.
