Kilometer to Mile Calculator

How this kilometre to mile calculator works

Enter a distance in kilometres. The calculator multiplies it by 0.621371 and shows the result in miles, always to four decimal places. Miles = kilometres × 0.621371.

The international mile is exactly 1,609.344 metres. One kilometre is 1,000 of those metres, so 1 kilometre is 1,000 ÷ 1,609.344 = 0.621371192… miles. This page uses 0.621371, that value rounded to six decimal places. A nautical mile is 1.852 kilometres and is not the unit here.

Worked example: 1 × 0.621371 = 0.621371, and four decimal places round that to 0.6214 miles. Five kilometres is 3.106855, printed as 3.1069 miles. Ten kilometres is 6.2137 miles. A marathon of 42.195 kilometres is 26.2187 miles. Typing the length of one mile, 1.609344 kilometres, returns 1.0000 miles.

Any finite number is accepted, including 0 and negatives. 0 kilometres is 0.0000 miles, and −1 kilometre is −0.6214 miles. An empty box shows --. To go back, divide the miles by 0.621371.
