Rendered to 6 significant figures.

Formula

Formula
V = mV × 0.001

Multiply any value in millivolts by 0.001 to obtain the value in volts.

Worked example

Convert 5000 mV to V.

  1. 01Start with 5000 mV.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 5000 × 0.001 = 5 V.
Result5000 mV = 5 V

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mV to V?
1 mV equals 0.001 V. To convert, multiply the value in millivolts by 0.001.
How do I convert 1 mV to V?
1 mV = 0.001 V. For any value, multiply by 0.001.
How do I convert V back to mV?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000. So 1 V = 1000 mV.
When would I need to convert millivolt to volt?
Voltage conversions between mV and V 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?
Yes. Both mV and V are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
