How to use it

  1. Type the value in the kilohertz box.
  2. Read the result in hertz as you type, and pick the precision you need.
  3. Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.

How it is calculated

Hz = kHz × 1,000

Multiply the value in kilohertz by 1,000 to get hertz.

Example

To convert 25 kHz to hertz: 25 × 1,000 = 25,000 Hz.

About the units

Kilohertz
A kilohertz is exactly 1000 hertz, used for audio frequencies and AM radio stations.
Hertz
The hertz is the SI unit of frequency, one cycle per second, equal to the reciprocal second (s⁻¹).

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 hertz are in one kilohertz?

1 kHz = 1,000 Hz exactly.

How do I convert kilohertz to hertz?

Use Hz = kHz × 1,000. For example, 25 kHz = 25,000 Hz.

How many kilohertz are in one hertz?

1 Hz = 0.001 kHz.

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.
