How to use it
- Type the value in the hertz box.
- Read the result in kilohertz as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
kHz = Hz × 0.001
Multiply the value in hertz by 0.001 to get kilohertz.
Example
To convert 25 Hz to kilohertz: 25 × 0.001 = 0.025 kHz.

About the units
- Hertz
- The hertz is the SI unit of frequency, one cycle per second, equal to the reciprocal second (s⁻¹).
- Kilohertz
- A kilohertz is exactly 1000 hertz, used for audio frequencies and AM radio stations.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many kilohertz are in one hertz?
1 Hz = 0.001 kHz exactly.
How do I convert hertz to kilohertz?
Use kHz = Hz × 0.001. For example, 25 Hz = 0.025 kHz.
How many hertz are in one kilohertz?
1 kHz = 1,000 Hz.
How many hertz is a 3.5 GHz processor?
3.5 GHz is 3500 MHz or 3.5 billion hertz, so the processor clock ticks 3.5 billion times per second. Clock speed alone does not decide performance; core count and design matter too.
How do I convert BPM to hertz?
Divide beats per minute by 60, so a tempo of 120 BPM is 2 Hz, two beats per second. The same works for heart rate: 72 beats per minute is 1.2 Hz.
