kW to kWh Calculator

Convert kilowatts to kilowatt-hours — turn a device's power draw in kW into the energy it uses over time. The key is that kW is power and kWh is energy: kWh = kW × hours. Enter the power and how long it runs to get the kWh (the unit your utility bills).

Energy = power × time: kWh = kW × hours. To go the other way, kW = kWh ÷ hours. kW is power (the rate); kWh is energy (what your utility bills).

Frequently asked questions

Multiply the power in kilowatts by the number of hours it runs: kWh = kW × hours. A 2 kW heater running for 3 hours uses 2 × 3 = 6 kWh. To convert kWh back to kW, divide the energy by the hours: kW = kWh ÷ hours.
