Speed Converter Calculator

Converts a speed between meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour and knots all at once.

This calculator provides an estimate for general informational purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional financial, medical, engineering or legal advice.

This calculator converts a single speed value into four widely used speed units at once — meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour and knots — useful for anything from checking a vehicle's speedometer reading in a different unit to converting wind speed or aircraft/marine speed reported in knots into more familiar road-speed units.

Example

  • With the default values shown above, this calculator returns: Meters per Second ≈ 1 m/s; Kilometers per Hour ≈ 3.6 km/h; Miles per Hour ≈ 2.237 mph; Knots ≈ 1.944 kn.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a knot?

A knot is one nautical mile per hour, a unit commonly used in aviation and maritime navigation, roughly equal to 1.15 mph or 1.85 km/h.

Which unit should I enter my speed in?

Use whichever unit your original measurement is in — set it on the Speed field's unit selector and every result recalculates from that value.
