Examples
| 1 MV | 1000 kV |
| 5 MV | 5000 kV |
| 10 MV | 10000 kV |
| 100 MV | 100000 kV |
One megavolt equals 1000 kilovolts (kV). To convert megavolts to kilovolts, multiply by 1000; to go back the other way, multiply by 0.001 instead.
The converter above does it as you type and shows the working underneath, so you can check the arithmetic rather than take the number on trust.
What megavolts and kilovolts actually measure
Megavolt (MV) — A megavolt is a million volts. High-voltage transmission and particle accelerators.
Kilovolt (kV) — A kilovolt is a thousand volts. Distribution networks, X-ray tubes and ignition systems.

How to convert megavolts to kilovolts by hand
Multiply the number of megavolts by 1000.
For example, 25 MV × 1000 = 25000 kV.
Going the other way, divide by 1000 — or multiply by 0.001, which is the same thing and easier to do in your head.
Everything runs in your browser
There is no server involved in the calculation. The numbers you type never leave your device, nothing is logged, and the page keeps working with no connection once it has loaded. That is not a marketing line — it is simply how the tool is built, because a calculation like this has no reason to touch a network.
Questions people ask
How many kV are in 1 MV?
