Kilohertz is 1000 hertz units.
Kilohertz to Millihertz Converter — kHz to mHz
Convert Kilohertz (kHz) to Millihertz (mHz) using the exact conversion factor (1 kilohertz = 1,000,000 millihertz). See the formula, worked examples, and conversion table.

Context values
Some unit families need one extra value for a physically accurate result.
Millihertz is 0.001 hertz units.
Result = input x 1000 / 0.001.
Frequency uses hertz as the base unit.

About Converting Kilohertz to Millihertz
Kilohertz and Millihertz both describe how fast something cycles or rotates, and the conversion is a routine part of reading a car tachometer or motor spec sheet against a scientific frequency figure. Specifically: Kilohertz is 1000 hertz units, and millihertz is 0.001 hertz units.
Formula
millihertz = kilohertz × 1000000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 kilohertz equals 1000 base units, and 1 millihertz equals 0.001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct kilohertz-to-millihertz factor of 1000000.
Simple example
1 kHz × 1000000 = 1,000,000 mHz
1 kilohertz = 1,000,000 millihertz.
Real-world example
1,000 kHz × 1000000 = 1,000,000,000 mHz
1,000 kilohertz = 1,000,000,000 millihertz.
Conversion table
| Kilohertz (kHz) | Millihertz (mHz) |
|---|---|
| 60 kHz | 60,000,000 mHz |
| 600 kHz | 600,000,000 mHz |
| 1,000 kHz | 1,000,000,000 mHz |
| 3,000 kHz | 3,000,000,000 mHz |

Reverse conversion: Millihertz to Kilohertz
1 mHz × 0.000001 = 0.000001 kHz
1 millihertz = 0.000001 kilohertz.
kilohertz = millihertz × 0.000001

Frequently asked questions
How many millihertz are in 1 kilohertz?
1 kilohertz equals 1,000,000 millihertz, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert kilohertz to millihertz?
Multiply the kilohertz value by 1000000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert millihertz back to kilohertz?
Use the reverse factor: 1 millihertz equals 0.000001 kilohertz. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a kilohertz?
Kilohertz (kHz) is a unit of frequency.
What is a millihertz?
Millihertz (mHz) is a unit of frequency.
Is the kilohertz to millihertz conversion exact?
Yes. Both kilohertz and millihertz are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 1000000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
