Speed converters
Miles per hour, kilometers per hour, knots and meters per second for roads, running, sailing and wind.
Precision (significant figures)
Formula
km/h = mph × 1.60934
1 mph = 1.60934 km/h
All speed converters
| Converter | Units | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| MPH to KM/H | mph → km/h | Driving abroad and car specs |
| KM/H to MPH | km/h → mph | Road signs and speed limits abroad |
| Knots to KM/H | kn → km/h | Sailing, aviation and wind |
| Knots to MPH | kn → mph | Marine forecasts and boating |
Common situations
Why people usually need a speed conversion, and which tool answers it.
You’re renting a car where the signs are in km/h and the speedometer isn’t (or the reverse).
Limits change every few kilometers. The risk: a speeding ticket in a foreign country.
Your training plan gives pace per mile, and your watch shows pace per kilometer.
Pace is time per distance, so it doesn’t convert like speed. The risk: going out too fast in a race and fading.
What you need
Your pace in both units, and your finish time.
A marine or wind forecast is in knots.
Knots use the nautical mile, not the road mile. The risk: going out in more wind than you can handle.
