Use a conversion factor.
There are 365 days in 1 year.
There are 24 hours in 1 day.
There are 60 minutes in 1 hour.
There are 60 seconds in 1 minute.
So, there are
60sec%2Fmin*60min%2Fhr*24hr%2Fday*365day%2Fyear
which equals
31536000sec%2Fyear
Since you have 15 years, multiply 15 by the conversion factor.
15%2A31536000=473040000sec
