How to use it
- Type the value in the kilohms box.
- Read the result in ohms as you type, and pick the precision you need.
- Swap the direction to convert back, or copy the result.
How it is calculated
Ω = kΩ × 1,000
Multiply the value in kilohms by 1,000 to get ohms.
Example
To convert 25 kΩ to ohms: 25 × 1,000 = 25,000 Ω.

About the units
- Kilohm
- A kilohm is exactly 1000 ohms, the most common range on electronic resistors such as 4.7 kΩ and 10 kΩ.
- Ohm
- The SI unit of resistance: a conductor that carries one ampere under one volt has one ohm, so 1 Ω = 1 V/A.
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 ohms are in one kilohm?
1 kΩ = 1,000 Ω exactly.
How do I convert kilohms to ohms?
Use Ω = kΩ × 1,000. For example, 25 kΩ = 25,000 Ω.
How many kilohms are in one ohm?
1 Ω = 0.001 kΩ.
What does the k in a resistor value mean?
It means kilo, or 1000, so a 4.7k resistor is 4700 ohms. Schematics sometimes write the same value as 4K7.
How do I work out resistance from voltage and current?
Use Ohm's law: resistance equals voltage divided by current. 12 V with 0.5 A means 24 ohms.
