Knots to kph Converter
This calculator helps you convert knots to kilometers per hour (kph).
This online free knots to kph converter is a tool used to convert speed from nautical miles per hour (knots) to kilometers per hour (kph).
Knots are primarily used in naval and aviation contexts, while kilometers per hour is a more common unit of speed measurement in everyday life and land-based transportation.
- 8 knots = 14.816 kph
- 10 knots = 18.52 kph
- 15 knots = 27.78 kph
- 20 knots = 37.04 kph
- 22 knots = 40.744 kph
- 30 knots = 55.56 kph
- 40 knots = 74.08 kph
- 50 knots = 92.6 kph
- 100 knots = 185.2 kph
- 400 knots = 740.8 kph
How do you Convert Knots to Kilometers Per Hour
To convert knots to kph, you need to multiply the speed in knots by the conversion factor of 1.852.
The steps to convert knots to kph are as follows:
- Start with the speed in knots
- Multiply the knot value by 1.852
- The result is the speed in kilometers per hour
This conversion is based on the definition of a nautical mile, which is equal to 1.852 kilometers. Since knots represent nautical miles per hour, multiplying by 1.852 gives us the equivalent speed in kilometers per hour.

Knots to kph Conversion Formula
The formula for converting knots to kilometers per hour is:
kph = knots × 1.852
Where:
- kph is the speed in kilometers per hour
- knots is the speed in nautical miles per hour
What speed is 50 knots in mph?
Using our conversion formula:
50 knots = 50 × 1.852 kph 50 knots = 92.6 kph
To convert this to mph, we can use the conversion factor of 1 mile = 1.60934 kilometers:
92.6 kph ≈ 57.54 mph
Therefore, 50 knots is equivalent to approximately 92.6 kph or 57.54 mph.
What speed is 30 knots in mph?
Let’s first convert 30 knots to kph and then to mph:
30 knots = 30 × 1.852 kph 30 knots = 55.56 kph
Converting to mph:
55.56 kph ≈ 34.52 mph
30 knots is equivalent to approximately 55.56 kph or 34.52 mph.
