it is simple as it is  let initial date   new Date  let added30Min   new Date initial date getTime      30 60 1000

You should get the value of the current date to get the date with  ms  and add  30   60  1000  to it  Now you have  current date   30 min  with ms   x000D   x000D  console log  with ms   Date now      30   60   1000   x000D  console log  new Date   new Date Date now      30   60   1000    x000D   x000D   x000D

Just another option  which I wrote   DP DateExtensions Library  It s overkill if this is all the date processing that you need  but it will do what you want   Supports date time formatting  date math  add subtract date parts   date compare  date parsing  etc  It s liberally open sourced

You could do this    x000D   x000D  let thirtyMinutes   30   60   1000     convert 30 minutes to milliseconds x000D  let date1   new Date    x000D  let date2   new Date date1 getTime     thirtyMinutes   x000D  console log date1   x000D  console log date2   x000D   x000D   x000D

I feel many of the answers here are lacking a creative component  very much needed for time travel computations  I present my solution for a temporal translation of 30 minutes     jsfiddle here   function fluxCapacitor n        var delta sigma 0 beta  ge        function K z             function a b c               beta beta  tT               switch b shift                      case 3  return z  0  a c b shift   1                   case 0  return z  3  a c b pop                     case 5  return z  2  a c b 0  1                   case 1  return z  4  a c b shift                     case 2  return z  5  a c b pop                     case 4  return z  1  a c b pop   1                            K pop   K pop   split     K pop            n toString   split      function b a c b1 gamma          delta  c b b1 a  sigma  gamma 3600000 0          beta beta  im               beta beta  e       return new Date  sigma  new Date  delta join        beta

The easiest way to solve is the to recognize that in javascript dates are just numbers  It starts 0 or  Wed Dec 31 1969 18 00 00 GMT-0600  CST   Every 1 represents a millisecond  You can add or subtract milliseconds by getting the value and instantiating a new date using that value  You can manage it pretty easy with that mind   const minutesToAdjust   10  const millisecondsPerMinute   60000  const originalDate   new Date  11 20 2017 10 00 AM    const modifiedDate1   new Date originalDate valueOf   -  minutesToAdjust   millisecondsPerMinute    const modifiedDate2   new Date originalDate valueOf      minutesToAdjust   millisecondsPerMinute     console log originalDate      Mon Nov 20 2017 10 00 00 GMT-0600  CST  console log modifiedDate1      Mon Nov 20 2017 09 50 00 GMT-0600  CST  console log modifiedDate2      Mon Nov 20 2017 10 10 00 GMT-0600  CST

Using a Library  If you are doing a lot of date work  you may want to look into JavaScript date libraries like Datejs or Moment js  For example  with Moment js  this is simply   var newDateObj   moment oldDateObj  add 30   m   toDate      Vanilla Javascript  This is like chaos s answer  but in one line   var newDateObj   new Date oldDateObj getTime     diff 60000     Where diff is the difference in minutes you want from oldDateObj s time  It can even be negative   Or as a reusable function  if you need to do this in multiple places   function addMinutes date  minutes        return new Date date getTime     minutes 60000       And just in case this is not obvious  the reason we multiply minutes by 60000 is to convert minutes to milliseconds   Be Careful with Vanilla Javascript  Dates Are Hard   You may think you can add 24 hours to a date to get tomorrow s date  right  Wrong   addMinutes myDate  60 24     DO NOT DO THIS   It turns out  if the user observes daylight saving time  a day is not necessarily 24 hours long  There is one day a year that is only 23 hours long  and one day a year that is 25 hours long  For example  in most of the United States and Canada  24 hours after midnight  Nov 2  2014  is still Nov 2   const NOV   10    because JS months are off by one    addMinutes new Date 2014  NOV  2   60 24     In USA  prints 11pm on Nov 2  not 12am Nov 3    This is why using one of the afore-mentioned libraries is a safer bet if you have to do a lot of work with this   Below is a more generic version of this function that I wrote  I d still recommend using a library  but that may be overkill impossible for your project  The syntax is modeled after MySQL DATE ADD function          Adds time to a date  Modelled after MySQL DATE ADD function     Example  dateAdd new Date     minute   30     returns 30 minutes from now     https   stackoverflow com a 1214753 18511         param date  Date to start with     param interval  One of  year  quarter  month  week  day  hour  minute  second     param units  Number of units of the given interval to add      function dateAdd date  interval  units      if   date instanceof Date       return undefined    var ret   new Date date     don t change original date   var checkRollover   function     if ret getDate      date getDate    ret setDate 0       switch String interval  toLowerCase          case  year       ret setFullYear ret getFullYear     units   checkRollover     break      case  quarter    ret setMonth ret getMonth     3 units   checkRollover     break      case  month      ret setMonth ret getMonth     units   checkRollover     break      case  week       ret setDate ret getDate     7 units    break      case  day        ret setDate ret getDate     units    break      case  hour       ret setTime ret getTime     units 3600000    break      case  minute     ret setTime ret getTime     units 60000    break      case  second     ret setTime ret getTime     units 1000    break      default          ret   undefined   break        return ret      Working jsFiddle demo

Here is the ES6 version   let getTimeAfter30Mins        gt      let timeAfter30Mins   new Date      timeAfter30Mins   new Date timeAfter30Mins setMinutes timeAfter30Mins getMinutes     30         Call it like   getTimeAfter30Mins

This is what I do which seems to work quite well   Date prototype addMinutes   function minutes        var copiedDate   new Date this getTime         return new Date copiedDate getTime     minutes   60000       Then you can just call this like this   var now   new Date    console log now addMinutes 50

Maybe something like this    x000D   x000D  var d   new Date    x000D  var v   new Date    x000D  v setMinutes d getMinutes   30   x000D   x000D  console log v  x000D   x000D   x000D

Use an existing library known to handle the quirks involved in dealing with time calculations  My current favorite is moment js    lt script src    cdnjs cloudflare com ajax libs moment js 2 13 0 moment js  gt  lt  script gt   lt script gt   var now   moment       get  now   console log now toDate        show original date  var thirty   moment now  add 30  minutes       clone  now  object and add 30 minutes  taking into account weirdness like crossing DST boundries or leap-days  -minutes  -seconds   console log thirty toDate        show new date  lt  script gt
