Samantha Nicole25 miles per hour is equal to 40.2336 kilometers per hour.
This means, if a car is going at 25 mph, it’s moving at 40.2336 km/h. The conversion multiplies the speed in miles per hour by 1.60934, since a mile is longer than a kilometer. This helps compare speed limits, car speeds, and travel times in countries using km/h.

Conversion Formula
The formula for converting miles per hour (mph) to kilometers per hour (km/h) is:
km/h = mph × 1.60934
This works because 1 mile is equal to 1.60934 kilometers. So, when you have a speed in mph, to find the same speed in km/h, you multiply by that number. Every value in mph, you just scale it up by 1.60934 to get km/h, this way you can compare speeds in countries using different systems.
Example calculation for 25 mph:
- Write down the speed: 25 mph
- Use the formula: 25 × 1.60934
- Do the math: 25 × 1.60934 = 40.2335
- Round to four decimal places: 40.2336 km/h
Conversion Example
- 15 mph to km/h:
- Start with 15 mph
- Multiply by 1.60934: 15 × 1.60934 = 24.1401 km/h
- 15 mph equals 24.1401 km/h
- 30 mph to km/h:
- Begin with 30 mph
- 30 × 1.60934 = 48.2802 km/h
- So, 30 mph is 48.2802 km/h
- 10 mph to km/h:
- 10 mph to convert
- 10 × 1.60934 = 16.0934 km/h
- That’s what 10 mph becomes in km/h
- 40 mph to km/h:
- Start with 40 mph
- 40 × 1.60934 = 64.3736 km/h
- So, 40 mph is 64.3736 km/h

Conversion Definitions
mph: mph stands for miles per hour. It measures speed by showing how many miles are traveled in one hour. Used mostly in the United States and a few other countries, mph is used for speed limits, car speedometers, and running speeds.
kmh: km/h means kilometers per hour, a metric unit to measure speed. It tells how many kilometers something travels in one hour. Most countries use km/h for road signs, vehicle dashboards, and sports measurements involving speed or velocity.
Conversion FAQs
Why doesn’t the conversion from mph to km/h come out as a whole number?
Because 1 mile is not a round number in kilometers, multiplying by 1.60934 rarely gives a whole number. The decimal values help make the conversion accurate, especially for scientific or technical settings. Rounding can be used, but that’s less exact.
Can you convert back from km/h to mph easily?
Yes, just divide the km/h value by 1.60934 to get mph. For example, 40 km/h divided by 1.60934 gives about 24.8548 mph. You can use the same number, just switch the math operation, so it’s reversible.
Do speedometers in the US show both mph and km/h?
Most car speedometers in the US display mph as the larger numbers, and often have smaller km/h numbers too. Some only show mph. In Canada, both are shown. Travelers must check which units are used, so they don’t drive too fast or too slow.
Does weather, like wind or rain, change how you convert mph to km/h?
Weather don’t affect the math for converting speeds between mph and km/h. But, it will affect safety and how fast you maybe should drive. The conversion stays the same no matter the conditions outside.
