How to convert newtons to kilonewtons
Multiply the number of newtons by 0.001 to get kilonewtons: kN = N × 0.001.
Example: 5 N = 0.005 kN.
The newton (N) and the kilonewton (kN) are both units of force. Need the opposite direction? Use the kN to N converter.

Metric and imperial units
The metric system (SI) is used by almost every country and by science worldwide. Its units scale by powers of ten – 1 kilometer is 1,000 meters, 1 meter is 100 centimeters – which makes conversions inside the system easy. The imperial and US customary systems (inches, feet, pounds, gallons) are still used daily in the United States and partly in the UK.
Since 1959 the inch has been defined as exactly 2.54 centimeters and the pound as exactly 0.45359237 kilograms, so conversions between the two systems are exact. Note that a US gallon (3.785 L) and an imperial gallon (4.546 L) are different – choose the right one above.
This converter covers 18 categories and 106 units: length, weight, temperature, volume, area, speed, time, data, energy, pressure, power, angle, force, torque, frequency, flow rate, illuminance, density.
Frequently asked questions
How many kilonewtons are in a newton?
1 newton = 0.001 kilonewtons.
How do I convert newtons to kilonewtons?
Use the formula kN = N × 0.001. For example, 5 N = 0.005 kN.
How do I convert kilonewtons back to newtons?
1 kilonewton = 1,000 newtons. Use the kN to N converter linked on this page.
Are these conversions exact?
Yes – all factors use the internationally defined values (for example 1 inch = 2.54 cm exactly, 1 pound = 0.45359237 kg exactly). Results are rounded to 8 significant digits for display.
