About Milligram and Kilogram

The milligram is one thousandth of a gram, or a millionth of a kilogram. Medication dosages and trace nutrient amounts are stated in milligrams. The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass, defined since 2019 by fixing the Planck constant rather than by the old platinum-iridium prototype. It is the reference for every other mass unit on this site. One Milligram equals 0.000001 Kilograms (1 mg = 0.000001 kg). Milligram is used in medication dosages and in vitamin and supplement labels. Kilogram is used in body weight outside the US.

Precision and Rounding:Metric-imperial mass factors are exact (1 lb = 0.45359237 kg by the 1959 agreement), so precision is purely a display choice. One decimal place is enough for body weight and cooking; nutrition labeling, pharmacy, and lab work need the full factor before rounding.

Conversion factors per NIST Special Publication 811 and the BIPM SI Brochure (9th edition) (reference).
