Common frequency conversions

Hertz to kilohertz:
1 Hz = 0.001 kHz

Kilohertz to hertz:
1 kHz = 1,000 Hz

Megahertz to hertz:
1 MHz = 1,000,000 Hz

Revolutions per minute to hertz:
1 rpm = 0.0166667 Hz

Where frequency conversions are used

Frequency conversions are useful for electrical systems, AC power, motors, vibration analysis, audio signals, radio frequencies, wireless communication, rotating machinery, and wave calculations.

Use this converter when comparing SI frequency prefixes, rotational speed, angular frequency, and cycle-based units.

What your frequency result means

Your result shows the entered frequency converted from the starting unit into the selected ending unit. The calculator also shows the conversion rate used so you can verify the calculation.

For electrical, mechanical, audio, vibration, or communication work, make sure the frequency unit matches your equipment rating, signal reference, motor speed, waveform data, or calculation sheet.

Frequency converter tips

Frequently asked questions

What is frequency?

Frequency is the number of cycles, waves, rotations, or repeating events that occur per second.

What is the SI unit of frequency?

The SI unit of frequency is the hertz, abbreviated as Hz.

Is one hertz the same as one cycle per second?

Yes. One hertz equals one cycle per second.

How many hertz are in one rpm?

One revolution per minute equals 0.0166667 hertz.

Can I convert negative frequency values?

This converter is designed for frequency magnitude conversions, so it uses non-negative values.
