Formula explanation

How this calculator works

Core formula

converted value = input value * source-unit factor / target-unit factor

The calculator normalizes each measurement into a common base unit first, then converts that normalized value into the target unit so the same logic can support many conversion pairs.

  • Fuel economy conversions use inverse formulas because liters per 100 km and miles per gallon move in opposite directions.
  • Time-unit conversions for months and years use standard average calendar lengths for planning purposes.
