Formula
mF = nF × 1e-6
Multiply any value in nanofarads by 1e-6 to obtain the value in millifarads.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 nF to mF.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 nF.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 mF.
Result1.00000e+6 nF = 1 mF

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from nF to mF?
1 nF equals 1e-6 mF. To convert, multiply the value in nanofarads by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 nF to mF?
1 nF = 1e-6 mF. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert mF back to nF?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 mF = 1.00000e+6 nF.
When would I need to convert nanofarad to millifarad?
Capacitance conversions between nF and mF are needed in power-factor-correction sizing, filter design, sensor electronics and motor-starter specification. Microfarads dominate power capacitor and motor-run/start applications; nanofarads and picofarads cover decoupling and RF circuit design.
Is the conversion exact?
Yes. Both nF and mF are defined by exact SI relationships, so the displayed factor is exact (any rounding shown is only for display).
