How to convert horsepower to kilowatts

Multiply hp by 0.7456998716 to get kW. The displayed factor is rounded; the calculator uses the full stored conversion factor.

The input is mechanical horsepower. Engine output ratings can also depend on test conditions; unit conversion alone does not compare those conditions.

Worked example

100 hp = 74.5699871582 kW. To reverse it, enter the unrounded output and select Swap units. Round only the final result; converting an already-rounded result back may not reproduce the original exactly.
