Conversion Formula
The formula to convert kilocalories (kcal) to kilojoules (kJ) is:
kJ = kcal × 4.184
Here, 4.184 is the conversion factor that comes from the definition of energy units. One kilocalorie is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius, which equals exactly 4184 joules or 4.184 kilojoules.
For example, converting 110 kcal:
- Multiply 110 by 4.184
- 110 × 4.184 = 460.24 kJ
- Result: 110 kcal is 460.24 kJ
Conversion Example
- Convert 75 kcal to kJ:
- Multiply 75 × 4.184
- 75 × 4.184 = 313.8 kJ
- Therefore, 75 kcal equals 313.8 kJ
- Convert 200 kcal to kJ:
- Multiply 200 × 4.184
- 200 × 4.184 = 836.8 kJ
- So, 200 kcal equals 836.8 kJ
- Convert 95.5 kcal to kJ:
- Multiply 95.5 × 4.184
- 95.5 × 4.184 = 399.7 kJ
- Thus, 95.5 kcal is 399.7 kJ
- Convert 120 kcal to kJ:
- Multiply 120 × 4.184
- 120 × 4.184 = 502.08 kJ
- Result: 120 kcal equals 502.08 kJ

Conversion Definitions
kcal (kilocalorie): A kcal is a unit of energy measuring the amount needed to raise the temperature of 1 kilogram of water by 1 degree Celsius. It is commonly used in food energy labeling and nutrition to express how much energy food provides.
kJ (kilojoule): A kJ is a metric unit of energy equivalent to 1000 joules. Kilojoules measure energy in scientific and international contexts, including food energy, where it shows the amount of work or heat energy contained in substances.
Conversion FAQs
Why multiply kcal by 4.184 to get kJ?
The multiplier 4.184 comes from the exact conversion factor between calories and joules. Since 1 calorie equals 4.184 joules, and 1 kcal is 1000 calories, multiplying kcal by 4.184 converts the energy unit into kilojoules, which is the standard SI unit.
Can I use the conversion factor for small values accurately?
Yes, the factor 4.184 works for any kcal value, large or small. However, rounding results may cause tiny discrepancies in very small numbers. For practical use in nutrition or science, this factor is precise enough.
Are kcal and kcal the same as calories?
In energy terms, 1 kcal equals 1000 calories (small c). In nutrition, the term calorie often means kcal, but technically, a calorie is smaller. This difference sometimes causes confusion but for conversions to kJ, kcal is the correct unit.
Does the conversion change depending on the substance?
No, the conversion factor is a fixed physical constant and does not vary with the substance. It only relates to the energy measurement units, so you can convert kcal to kJ regardless of the material.
Is kJ more commonly used than kcal in food labels?
Many countries use kJ on nutrition labels, but kcal remains popular especially in the US. Both units express the same energy content, but kJ is the SI unit and preferred in scientific contexts worldwide.
