kWh to Megajoules Converter

Convert energy between kilowatt-hours (kWh) and megajoules (MJ) with the precise 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ ratio.

Energy Converter

Choose the direction, enter the energy amount, and hit Calculate (or let the form update automatically).

Exact ratio: 1 kWh = 3.6 MJ

How to use

Pick the direction of the conversion, enter the value you have, and press Calculate or wait for the inputs to auto-update. The results card mirrors your entry with the matching unit.

Methodology

The tool applies the exact SI conversion: 1 kilowatt-hour equals 3.6 megajoules. When swapping the direction, it divides by 3.6 to return to kWh.
