How to Use the Volt-Amps to Kilovolt-Amps Calculator

One field. Type an apparent-power figure in VA and the kVA equivalent appears next to it, no button required.

kVA = VA ÷ 1000

750 VA is 0.75 kVA — moving the decimal three places is the entire operation, since kilo has meant "times a thousand" since the metric system was standardized and apparent power doesn't care what unit it's measured in.

The reason this gets its own page rather than living as a footnote is scale mismatch. Small UPS units, laptop chargers, and individual appliance nameplates are specified in VA because the numbers stay in the hundreds or low thousands. Add several of those loads together for a circuit or small generator calculation, though, and a running total in VA turns into an awkward five-digit figure fast — switching to kVA at that point isn't optional so much as how anyone sizing equipment actually talks about the number.

This step never touches power factor or real power — that only enters once you're converting from apparent power (VA/kVA) to real power (W/kW), a separate calculation the Volt-Amps to Kilowatts calculator on this site handles.
