What is 1 kilovolt in millivolts?
1 kilovolt is equal to exactly 1,000,000 millivolts.
1 × 1,000,000 = 1,000,000 millivolts
1 kilovolt = 1,000,000 millivolts
Kilovolts to Millivolts formula
mV = kV × 1,000,000
The kilovolts to millivolts conversion factor is 1,000,000, which is exact by definition. 1 kilovolt = 1,000,000 millivolts, and 1 millivolt = 0.000001 kilovolts.
Worked examples
- 2 kilovolts = 2,000,000 millivolts — 2 × 1,000,000 = 2,000,000 millivolts
- 6 kilovolts = 6,000,000 millivolts — 6 × 1,000,000 = 6,000,000 millivolts
- 10 kilovolts = 10,000,000 millivolts — 10 × 1,000,000 = 10,000,000 millivolts

When you need to convert kilovolts to millivolts
- Comparing specifications written for a different market.
- Checking a figure quoted in an unfamiliar unit before acting on it.
- Converting values consistently across a spreadsheet, report or shopping list.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Dividing when you should multiply. Because 1 kilovolt = 1,000,000 millivolts, the answer should be larger than the number you started with.
- Rounding too early. Convert first at full precision, then round the final answer to the precision the task actually needs.
How precise does the answer need to be?
Round only at the end, and only to the precision your task actually needs. The converter above keeps full double precision internally and rounds for display.
How these units are defined
- Kilovolt (kV): One thousand volts. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
- Millivolt (mV): One thousandth of a volt. This unit's relationship to the SI base unit is exact by definition, so no rounding enters the conversion factor.
