About the Energy Converter
Energy shows up as joules in physics, calories on food labels, kilowatt-hours on your electricity bill and BTU in heating and cooling. Converting between them helps with everything from nutrition to sizing an air conditioner.
This Energy Converter switches between joules, calories, kWh and BTU using exact factors, so different energy figures line up.

How the Energy Converter works
Every conversion uses the exact, internationally agreed factors defined by the International System of Units (SI) and recognised standards bodies. Temperature conversions apply the correct formulas rather than simple multipliers, and results retain full precision so they are suitable for scientific, engineering and everyday use alike.
All conversions are calculated instantly in your browser.
Tips & best practices
- Food "calories" are actually kilocalories, so account for the factor of 1,000 when converting to joules.
- Your electricity bill is measured in kWh; converting to joules shows the raw energy involved.
- BTU is common for air conditioners and heaters, so convert to it when comparing appliance ratings.

Frequently asked questions
One calorie is about 4.184 joules. Note that food "calories" are kilocalories, so multiply by 1,000 first. The converter handles this.
A kilowatt-hour is the energy of using one kilowatt for one hour, the unit on your electricity bill. It equals 3.6 million joules.
BTU (British Thermal Unit) is common for rating heating and cooling appliances. The converter switches it to joules, calories or kWh.
