Formula: Kilopascal = Bar × 100
Example: 1 bar = 100 kPa

Beyond the calculator above, it helps to understand what these two units actually represent and where you will run into them in everyday life.
Step-by-step example — Convert 2 bar to kPa:
A Bar is a metric pressure unit approximately equal to average atmospheric pressure at sea level.
A Kilopascal (kPa) equals 1,000 pascals and is commonly used for everyday pressure readings like tire pressure.
The formula is: Kilopascal = Bar x 100. Multiply any Bar value by 100 to get the equivalent in Kilopascal.
1 bar = 100 kPa.
1 kPa = 0.01 bar.
Bar is bigger than Kilopascal. 1 Bar = 100 kPa.
5 bar = 500 kPa.
200 kPa = 2 bar.
Most car tyres are inflated to around 2.0–2.4 bar, equivalent to about 29–35 PSI.
