Yup. In all likelihood your programming language or environment
already has a function for getting the current epoch time and you can
just subtract the two to find out the number of seconds remaining.

So I would just get the UTC time convert it to a date and find the
difference in time between UTC time and time now?

Hello there,
The reset-time-in-seconds is a the UNIX time (a.k.a Epoch time,
number of seconds since 1970-01-01 UTC) at which the rate limit will
reset.
Thanks;

Hi, I'm creating a small app like TweetDeck and was wondering how to
calculate the correct time when your rate limits reset...
The XML I parsed is:
<reset-time-in-seconds type="integer">1246568101</reset-time-in-
seconds>
So in order to convert seconds to minutes you do seconds
0.0166666666666667 * 1246568101
Therefore, 1246568101 seconds = 20776135.016666666 minutes
Which is not right if limits are reset every 60 mins.
