Quick facts

How to convert kilograms to milligrams

  1. Take the value in kilograms.
  2. Multiply it by 1,000,000 (the number of milligrams in one kilogram).
  3. Round the result to the precision you need.
mg = kg × 1,000,000

Worked example (a typical checked-bag allowance): 23 kg × 1,000,000 = 23000000 mg.

To convert milligrams back to kilograms, multiply by 0.000001, or divide by 1,000,000.
