Tonnes to Kilograms Converter
1 tonne = 1,000 kilograms
Distinct from the US short ton (2,000 lb) and the imperial long ton (2,240 lb).
1 tonne equals 1,000 kilograms
How to convert tonnes to kilograms
These units measure mass. Pounds and ounces mean avoirdupois unless the unit explicitly says troy; a fluid ounce measures volume and requires a density to relate it to mass.
kg = t × 1000One tonne is 1000 kilograms, so a single multiplication converts any value.
10,000 kg = 10 × 1000Distinct from the US short ton (2,000 lb) and the imperial long ton (2,240 lb).

Sources and precision
Table results are rounded to 8 significant digits; formula constants may be rounded to 10. Worked example answers use 6 significant digits. The converter starts at 6 significant digits and lets you change display precision. Calculations use the stored factors without intermediate rounding. Exact unit definitions do not make an input measurement more precise; conventional and measured factors follow the assumptions stated here.
