KPH to MPH Converter
Type a speed in either box for an instant, two-way conversion between kilometres per hour (km/h) and miles per hour (mph). Below the calculator you'll find a full kph-to-mph chart for the common values.
Exact definition: 1 mph = 1.609344 km/h; 1 km/h ≈ 0.621371 mph. Editing either field updates the other, rounded to two decimal places.
Use the live GPS speedometer for a GPS-based speed estimate while moving. It shows one selected unit at a time: switch between mph, km/h and knots. Location permission and usable location data are required.

Table values are rounded to one decimal place. The calculation uses 1 mph = 1.609344 km/h exactly; 0.621371 is a rounded reciprocal.
How to convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour
To convert kph to mph, divide the speed by 1.609344. This follows from the exact definition 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometres. Multiplying by 0.621371 gives an approximation because that reciprocal is rounded. The calculator uses the full reciprocal and rounds only the displayed result.
The unit matters as much as the number. 100 km/h ≈ 62.1 mph, while 100 mph ≈ 160.9 km/h. These are different speeds despite the matching starting number. Check the input unit and conversion direction before comparing values from a chart, a device or a journey record.
Useful numerical reference points: 30 km/h ≈ 18.6 mph; 50 km/h ≈ 31.1 mph; 90 km/h ≈ 55.9 mph; 120 km/h ≈ 74.6 mph. Each result is rounded to one decimal place. Enter another value in the converter to see the same relationship at a different speed.
The spellings “kph”, “kmph” and “km/h” refer to kilometres per hour; km/h is the standard notation. A kph to mph chart changes the unit of a number, not the quality of its measurement. A dashboard and a GPS device can still disagree because calibration, reception and measurement methods differ.
When you need to convert while you're driving
A chart is perfect when you're planning at the kitchen table. But the awkward moments happen in motion: you've picked up a rental car abroad with a dashboard reading in km/h and every mental reference you have is in mph — or the reverse. Doing the multiplication at 120 km/h is exactly when you shouldn't be looking away from the road.
The same problem shows up with an imported car whose speedometer only shows the units of its origin market, and on the water, where a boat's instruments may read in knots while your harbour speed limit is posted in km/h or mph. In all of these, what you want isn't a conversion table — it's a display that already shows the unit you think in.
The free live GPS speedometer runs without an app installation and shows a GPS-based speed estimate in your selected unit. Its reading depends on location permission and usable position data. The MPH speedometer app offers a large readout and a basic windshield HUD. Enhanced HUD features and Picture-in-Picture require PRO; the display is not a guarantee of measurement accuracy or continuous availability.

Working with nautical speeds? Use the knots to mph converter, which also shows km/h.
KPH to MPH — frequently asked
How do you convert kph to mph?
To convert kph to mph, divide the speed by 1.609344. This follows from the exact definition 1 mile = 1.609344 kilometres. Multiplying by 0.621371 gives an approximation because that reciprocal is rounded. The calculator uses the full reciprocal and rounds only the displayed result.
What is 90 km/h in mph?
90 km/h ÷ 1.609344 ≈ 55.9 mph. Rounded to one decimal place. This is a unit conversion, not a road-limit recommendation.
What is 100 kph in mph?
100 km/h ÷ 1.609344 ≈ 62.1 mph. Rounded to one decimal place. This is a unit conversion, not a road-limit recommendation.
Is kph the same as km/h?
Yes. "kph", "km/h", "kmh" and "kilometers per hour" all mean the same unit — kilometres travelled per hour. The official written form is km/h; kph is the common shorthand.
