How the Conversion Works

This calculator uses a two-step conversion process through kilograms (kg) as the base unit, which is the standard unit of mass in the International System of Units (SI).

Conversion Formula:

Step 1: Convert from t to kilograms (kg)

Value in kg = Input value ÷ 0.001

Step 2: Convert from kilograms (kg) to mg

Result = Value in kg × 1,000,000

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 1000000000
Where 1000000000 is the conversion factor from t to mg

Example Calculation:

Let's convert 16 t to mg:

16 t ÷ 0.001 = 16,000 kg
16,000 kg × 1,000,000 = 16,000,000,000 mg

Result: 16 t = 16,000,000,000 mg
