Convert joules and kilojoules to watt-hours, kilowatt-hours, calories, kilocalories and BTU — for electricity bills, food energy, heating and physics.
One kilowatt-hour of electricity is 3,600 kilojoules — about 860 kilocalories of food energy.
Result = input × source-unit factor ÷ destination-unit factor. All factors are relative to the same base unit; intermediate values are not rounded.
Joules, Kilojoules, Watt-hours, Kilowatt-hours, Calories (thermochemical), Kilocalories, BTU, Foot-pounds. Read the labels carefully: regional or decimal/binary variants are separate choices.
A label Calorie, with a capital C, is a kilocalorie: 1,000 small calories, or 4,184 joules. The converter lists calories and kilocalories as separate units.
