W = kW × 1000
1 kW = 1000 W
Multiply by 1000 W to go from kilowatts to watts, or divide by it to come back. The factor and every value below are computed by the same converter that runs at /convert, so this page and the tool cannot disagree.

What is the formula to convert kilowatts to watts?
W = kW × 1000. Multiply the value in kilowatts by 1000 to get watts.
