Frequently asked questions

How many milligrams are in one kilogram?

1 kg equals 1,000,000 mg.

How do I convert kilograms to milligrams?

Multiply the value by 1,000,000. For example, 10 kg equals 10,000,000 mg.

How do I convert back from milligrams to kilograms?

1 mg equals 0.000001 kg. The converter above works in both directions, so you can type into either field.

Is this converting mass or weight?

Mass. Kilograms and pounds measure mass; force units such as newtons or kilonewtons are a separate quantity used in structural load calculations.

What is the difference between a US ton and a metric tonne?

A US short ton is 2,000 lb, about 907 kg, while a metric tonne is exactly 1,000 kg. The imperial long ton is 2,240 lb, about 1,016 kg.

Is this mass converter free to use?

Yes. Every unit conversion runs in your browser, needs no account and is free for professional use.
