How the conversion works
We use the exact conversion factor between mph and kmh defined by the international system of units (SI) or, where relevant, the US customary and UK imperial standards. Results are rounded for readability but computed at full precision.
Where you'll use it
Shopping from an overseas store, following a recipe, planning a trip, checking a spec sheet, or working with a contractor from a different country. Most units in daily life have a metric and an imperial partner, and mixing them up is one of the most common causes of small mistakes with big consequences.
Metric vs imperial in the UK
The UK officially uses metric but still uses imperial in daily life: road signs in miles, beer in pints, height in feet and inches, weight in stones. That is why an everyday converter is genuinely useful, not a novelty.
