About speed conversions

Enter a value and choose the units to convert between. Each speed unit is defined against a single base unit, so any pair lines up consistently, the table shows your value in every speed unit at once.

What this does

A speed converter changes a rate of travel from one unit to another, meters per second, kilometers per hour, miles per hour, feet per second, and knots.

How to use it

  1. Enter a value and pick its unit.
  2. Choose the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the converted result instantly.
  4. Swap the units to reverse the conversion.

How it works

Each value is converted to meters per second first and then to the target unit. A knot is one nautical mile per hour, which is exactly 1.852 km/h.

mph = km/h × 0.621371

Example

100 km/h is about 62.14 mph, and 1 m/s is 3.6 km/h. A 10-knot wind is about 18.52 km/h.
