dBm to mW Conversion
Enter a power in dBm and press Convert to get the same power in milliwatts. Results are rounded to 15 significant digits, so each one is shown with ≈.
What this tool does
This tool converts dBm to mW. There is one number field, so a single value is all you fill in.
The form computes only when Convert is pressed, and the result appears in a card below the button.
Reading and keeping the result
Because the result comes from a power, it is rounded to 15 significant digits and shown with ≈.
Copy writes the result and its unit to the clipboard. Clear resets the form. Everything runs in the browser and nothing is uploaded.
dBm to mW formula
P(mW) = 10^(P(dBm) / 10), where P(dBm) is the power in dBm and P(mW) is that power in milliwatts.
The table below shows shortened values, among them 0 dBm as 1 mW, 3 dBm as 1.995262315 mW and 20 dBm as 100 mW.
| Power (dBm) | Power (mW) |
|---|---|
| -20 dBm | 0.01 mW |
| -10 dBm | 0.1 mW |
| 0 dBm | 1 mW |
| 3 dBm | 1.995262315 mW |
| 10 dBm | 10 mW |
| 20 dBm | 100 mW |
| 30 dBm | 1000 mW |
| 40 dBm | 10000 mW |
