Milligrams to Micrograms (mg to μg)
Convert milligrams to micrograms: 1 mg = 1000 μg. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 mg = 1000 μg
micrograms = milligrams × 1000 — reverse: milligrams = micrograms × 0.001
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: kg) as listed in NIST SP 811; results on this page are shown to 6 significant figures, the API returns up to 12.
Worked examples
- 5 mg = 5000 μg
- 12.5 mg = 12500 μg
- 100 mg = 100000 μg

FAQ
How many micrograms are in one milligram?
1 mg = 1000 μg. 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 milligrams to micrograms?
Multiply the value in milligrams by 1000: micrograms = milligrams × 1000. For example, 5 mg = 5000 μg.
How do I convert micrograms back to milligrams?
Multiply by the inverse factor 0.001 (milligrams = micrograms × 0.001), or use the micrograms-to-milligrams page.
