Voltage Converter

Convert µV, mV, V, kV and MV — the SI prefixes used from sensor signals to transmission lines.

How to use this tool

Steps for using the Unit Converter.

  1. Type a number into From — volts are preselected. Commas and scientific notation such as 2.5e3 are accepted.
  2. Pick the units to convert between; the result in millivolts (or whichever unit you choose) updates as you type. Use the swap button to reverse the conversion.
  3. Set the decimal places, turn on Show formula to see the calculation, and copy or share the result.
  4. Below the converter, the table lists every voltage unit with its exact definition, and the links open dedicated pages for the most common pairs.

Example

3.3 volts to millivolts

Value
3.3 V
Result
3,300 mV

Formula: mV = V × 1000

Common use cases

  • Sensor and thermocouple outputs in mV.
  • Battery and supply voltages.
  • Power distribution in kV.

About voltage units

The volt is the SI unit of electric potential difference, one watt per ampere. Electronics use millivolts and microvolts for small signals, and power systems use kilovolts.

The prefixes are powers of 1,000: 1 V = 1,000 mV = 1,000,000 µV, and 1 kV = 1,000 V.

Limitations

  • Results are rounded for display only; the calculation keeps full precision (15 significant digits).

Frequently asked questions

How many millivolts are in a volt?

1,000.

What is a typical mains voltage?

Around 230 V in most of Europe, Asia and Africa, and 120 V in North America.

What does µV mean?

Microvolt — one millionth of a volt. Some keyboards can't type µ, so “uV” is often used instead.

Are these voltage conversions exact?

Each unit is defined from its official definition (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly). Results are calculated in double precision and only rounded to the decimal places you choose when shown.
