Metric Tons to Kilograms (t to kg) Converter
1 metric ton (t) = 1,000 kilograms (kg). To convert metric tons to kilograms, multiply by 1,000: 1.5 t × 1,000 = 1,500 kg.
Quick facts
- 1 t = 1,000 kg
- 1 kg = 0.001 t
- Formula: kg = t × 1,000
- Quick estimate: multiply by about 1000
How to convert metric tons to kilograms
- Take the value in metric tons.
- Multiply it by 1,000 (the number of kilograms in one metric ton).
- Round the result to the precision you need.
Worked example (a small car): 1.5 t × 1,000 = 1500 kg.
To convert kilograms back to metric tons, multiply by 0.001, or divide by 1,000.
