Amps to Watts Calculator

Convert amps to watts — or watts to amps — from the voltage, in watts, kilowatts and amps.

Amps to watts is one multiplication — but it is the multiplication behind every circuit, breaker and cable. This calculator is that step, in both directions.

Enter the amps or watts and the volts; the answer follows.

The current in amps (Amps → Watts mode).
The power in watts (Watts → Amps mode).
The voltage — 120 V or 240 V in most homes.

Formula

watts = amps × volts (P = V × I) amps = watts ÷ volts Single-phase resistive load assumed. The mode picks which value is entered and which is calculated.

All lengths are converted to a single unit before the calculation: 1 ft = 0.3048 m, 1 in = 25.4 mm, 1 ft² = 0.09290304 m², 1 yd² = 9 ft². Material quantities are rounded up — you cannot buy part of a tile, plank or bag.

How to use this calculator

  1. Choose the direction (Amps → Watts or Watts → Amps).
  2. Enter the amps (or watts) and the volts.
  3. Read the watts, kilowatts and amps.

Worked example

Amps → Watts10 A × 240 V = 2,400 W = 2.4 kW
Watts → Amps1,500 W ÷ 120 V = 12.5 A

Check it by hand: every step above uses the formula in the box. If your numbers match the example inputs but the calculator gives a different answer, please report it via the contact page.

Frequently asked questions

How many watts are 10 amps at 240 volts?

2,400 W (10 × 240). The same 10 amps at 120 V is only 1,200 W — voltage matters as much as current.

How many amps is a 1,500 W heater?

It depends on the voltage: 12.5 A at 120 V, 6.25 A at 240 V. Enter the watts and your voltage here.

What voltage do I use?

Your supply voltage — 120 V in the US, 230–240 V in the UK, EU and Australia. Check your supply or the device's label.

Is this a substitute for electrical design?

No. This is a conversion for planning. Circuit sizing and electrical safety require qualified professionals and local code compliance — see the safety notice.
