How to convert pascals to kilopascals
kPa = Pa × 0.001Multiply the value in pascals by 0.001. To go the other way, multiply by 1,000 (or divide by 0.001).
A pascal is smaller than a kilopascal: it takes 1,000 pascals to make one kilopascal.
Worked examples
- 1 pascal1 Pa × 0.001 = 0.001 kPa
- 5 pascals5 Pa × 0.001 = 0.005 kPa
- 10 pascals10 Pa × 0.001 = 0.01 kPa
- 20 pascals20 Pa × 0.001 = 0.02 kPa
- 100 pascals100 Pa × 0.001 = 0.1 kPa

About the units
Pascal (Pa)
One newton per square metre — a very small pressure. Atmospheric pressure is about 101,325 Pa.
Kilopascal (kPa)
One thousand pascals. Tire pressures outside the US are often given in kPa (220–250 kPa for a car). One kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals (Pa).
Frequently asked questions
How many kilopascals are in one pascal?
There are 0.001 kilopascals in one pascal, and this value is exact by definition.
How do I convert pascals to kilopascals?
Multiply the number of pascals by 0.001. For example, 10 Pa × 0.001 = 0.01 kPa.
How many pascals are in one kilopascal?
One kilopascal equals 1,000 pascals. That is the reverse factor, 1 ÷ 0.001.
What is 10 pascals in kilopascals?
10 Pa = 0.01 kPa.
Is this Pa to kPa converter accurate?
Yes. Both units are defined exactly in terms of SI units, so the conversion factor is exact; results are shown to 12 significant figures by default and you can change precision in the converter. Calculations run in your browser using the same tested engine that generated this page.
