Watts to Kilowatts (W to kW)
Convert watts to kilowatts: 1 W = 0.001 kW. Exact conversion factor, formula, 22-row table and worked examples, with JSON API and MCP access.
Formula
1 W = 0.001 kW
kilowatts = watts × 0.001 — reverse: watts = kilowatts × 1000
The factor is derived from the SI definitions of both units (base unit: W) 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 W = 0.005 kW
- 12.5 W = 0.0125 kW
- 100 W = 0.1 kW

FAQ
How many kilowatts are in one watt?
1 W = 0.001 kW. 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 watts to kilowatts?
Multiply the value in watts by 0.001: kilowatts = watts × 0.001. For example, 5 W = 0.005 kW.
How do I convert kilowatts back to watts?
Multiply by the inverse factor 1000 (watts = kilowatts × 1000), or use the kilowatts-to-watts page.
