# Kilohertz to Hertz (kHz to Hz)

> Convert kilohertz to hertz: 1 kHz = 1000 Hz. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.

- Page id: `khz-to-hz` · Quantity: Frequency (`frequency`, base unit Hz) · Tool: `convert_units`
- Canonical page: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/khz-to-hz · This document: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/khz-to-hz.md · JSON: https://tttkmbb.com/conversion/khz-to-hz.json (add `?value=` for a result)

## Formula

- `1 kHz = 1000 Hz`
- `hertz = kilohertz × 1000`
- Reverse: `kilohertz = hertz × 0.001`

The factor follows from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811); values below are rounded to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.

## Worked examples

- 5 kHz = 5000 Hz
- 12.5 kHz = 12500 Hz
- 100 kHz = 100000 Hz

## FAQ

**How many hertz are in one kilohertz?**

1 kHz = 1000 Hz. The factor comes from the SI definitions of both units (NIST SP 811 / BIPM), so it is exact or correct to at least 10 significant figures.

**What is the formula to convert kilohertz to hertz?**

Multiply the value in kilohertz by 1000: hertz = kilohertz × 1000. For example, 5 kHz = 5000 Hz.

**How do I convert hertz back to kilohertz?**

Multiply by the inverse factor 0.001 (kilohertz = hertz × 0.001), or use the hertz-to-kilohertz page.
