Kilogram (kg)
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the numerical value of the Planck constant.
Kilograms are used worldwide for body weight, food packaging, shipping labels, and science wherever the metric system is standard.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 kg = 1000000 mg
1 mg = 0.000001 kg
To convert kilogram to milligram, multiply by 1000000.
To convert milligram to kilogram, multiply by 0.000001.
Example: convert 5 kg to mg
5 × 1000000 = 5000000 mg
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined by fixing the numerical value of the Planck constant.
Kilograms are used worldwide for body weight, food packaging, shipping labels, and science wherever the metric system is standard.
A milligram is one thousandth of a gram, used for very small masses such as medication dosages.
Milligrams are standard on prescription labels, supplement facts panels, and analytical chemistry.
mg = kg × 1,000,000kg = mg × 0.000001, using the same exact factors as this converter.Jump to any weight & mass conversion starting from kilogram — including the reverse direction and every other unit in our dataset.
