Formula
nV = mV × 1000000
Multiply any value in millivolts by 1000000 to obtain the value in nanovolts.
Worked example
Convert 1 mV to nV.
- 01Start with 1 mV.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 nV.
Result1 mV = 1.00000e+6 nV

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from mV to nV?
1 mV equals 1000000 nV. To convert, multiply the value in millivolts by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 mV to nV?
1 mV = 1.00000e+6 nV. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert nV back to mV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 nV = 1e-6 mV.
When would I need to convert millivolt to nanovolt?
Voltage conversions between mV and nV are routine in instrumentation, power-system analysis and electronics design. Volts and kilovolts dominate power-system documents (LV/MV/HV switchgear, motor ratings), while millivolts and microvolts appear on transducer datasheets, thermocouple signal chains and low-level analog measurements.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
